Guthrie volunteers to monitor critical wildlife

Thanks for your support of a Citizen Wildlife Monitoring Program volunteer. Your gift supplies a volunteer with batteries, bungee cords to hold the cameras on the tree, new memory cards, and lure to scent the site and attract animals.

You will help someone like Guthrie, who documented the potential western end of the range of the Teanaway wolf pack in a very important area for a variety of species of wildlife. He recalls an exciting experience he had in 2010. Shortly after installing his cameras, he reviewed the images. The first image showed Guthrie applying a lure to a stump. The very next image was of a cougar rubbing its head on the exact same spot. “I have never seen a wild cougar, so it was exciting to see pictures of us standing in the exact same place,” Guthrie said. “It’s just great to know these animals are out there, and to see what goes on once the people leave the forest.”

Thank you for helping Guthrie monitor wildlife in the Pacific Northwest!
