In 2024, we GPS-collared 4 lynx, backtracked nearly 40 lynx trails, and collected important vegetation data from the habitats that lynx chose to use in burned areas. Exciting findings show lynx not only survive but reproduce in these burned landscapes, highlighting their value for conservation.Community Science and Outreach: We expanded our Human-Bear Coexistence project, engaging over 30 volunteers who walked 160 miles of transects to collect data on critical bear food resources. This effort led to a partnership with Defenders of Wildlife and the publication of the Methow Valley Community Bear Assessment, as well as the official formation of the Methow Bear Coalition.Academic and Research Collaborations: We partnered with the University of Washington and the University of British Columbia to onboard two graduate students, whose efforts are advancing our understanding of lynx habitat in burned landscapes. 22922 38143 TRAINING PROGRAMS:Field Skills Training Program: In 2024, we trained over 45 aspiring biologists across four courses, with participants from across North America including Alaska, Oklahoma, and Montreal. Thanks to partnerships with Queer Nature and Re:wild, we provided scholarships and subsidized fees for 12 participants from LGBTQ+ and Indigenous communities. 252 COMMUNITY OUTREACH & EDUCATION:Community Engagement: We reached wider audiences through 4 podcast features, 5 news stories, several public talks, and an episode of PBS Human Elements. Additionally, we collaborated with local experts, including photographers and biologists, to showcase the value of community-driven conservation.Youth Programs: We continued the Wildlife Cub Club at Methow Valley Elementary, sparking curiosity in future biologists and strengthening connections between young people and their natural environment.New Partnerships: We formed partnerships with organizations like Swan Valley Connections, the Bush School, and Indigenous tribes across Washington State, strengthening both our research and education initiatives. 247603 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 6 true true true false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false X X X MICHELLE GELLER 4253063165 PO BOX 1345 WINTHROP WA 98862 CARMEN M VANBIANCHI Research Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 38500 0 0 TOM GALAMBOS President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BECCA WINDELL Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NELL SCOTT Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CLAIRE HOFFMANN PhD Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN ROHRER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN MARQUARDT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY C NELSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 38500 0 false false false 0 1220 130467 368403 1579 500090 WILDLIFE TRAINING COURSES 813312 38143 38143 38143 395 395 0 0 0 0 340 1220 145 195 0 2113 2113 2113 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 2001 2001 REIMBURSEMENTS & REFUNDS 8008 8008 10009 550945 48152 2113 395 19000 19000 0 0 0 38500 30800 3850 3850 0 176869 118131 58738 0 0 28014 19582 7931 501 0 0 270 270 0 0 0 12125 5425 6700 2439 2439 2844 211 2633 1785 167 1618 0 11098 11098 1477 1477 0 0 0 0 2717 2717 4770 3809 961 FIELD EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES 18392 18392 TRAINING PROGRAM EXPENSES 13308 13308 VEHICLE & SNOWMOBILE EXPENSE 11650 11650 BANK & CREDIT CARD FEES 2593 798 1795 5098 2136 1307 1655 352949 247603 90201 15145 39540 29060 5001 6311 195505 2501 0 0 0 0 8272 22189 2717 19472 0 0 0 0 0 44541 261121 1690 20274 1690 20274 X 42851 45342 195505 42851 240847 44541 261121 197996 X false false false X 301567 500090 801657 0 0 301567 500090 801657 194773 606884 395 395 2113 2113 10009 10009 814174 66213 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 22189 2717 19472 19472 false CASCADES WOLVERINE PROJECT PO BOX 266 TWISP WA 98856 19000 0 SEE SCHEDULE O 0 1 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT, EDUCATION DIRECTOR, AND BOOKKEEPER PRIOR TO FILING.
