Your support helped MVCC and our partners foster wildlife conservation by addressing wildlife conflict before it becomes a crisis.

Wildlife conservation takes rigorous research 🔬

Research helps fill critical gaps in what we know about wildlife and how to conserve species and their habitats. Our Lynx & Wildfire Project has combined years of fieldwork, monitoring, and habitat surveys to better understand how the endangered Canada lynx uses landscapes affected by wildfire.

This October during Give Methow, you can help us learn about the wildlife we share this landscape with. Donate at www.givemethow.org.

Thank you to everyone that came out to support the Methow Bear Coalition at the Methow Conservancy’s first Tuesday Lecture with “Bears of Durango” film and guest panelists. Learning how we can coexist with bears is key to protecting our community- both for humans and wildlife.

Hope you can join us and Chris Morgan Wildlife in Seattle at REI coming up on Oct 17th to hear his stories about Life in the Wild! Get your tickets here! https://www.homerange.org/chris-morgan

So excited to be back in Seattle later this month!
Hope you can join me at REI where I’ll be giving a live presentation with stories and clips from life in the wild.
It’s all in support of an incredible local conservation organization called Home Range - a team of women-led biologists who study and protect Canada lynx, black bears and many others.
Hope to see you at this fun and inspiring evening:
REI Seattle, October 17th at 6pm.

Your DoorDash driver has picked up your order and is heading your way! 🥡🥡

My best guess is this bobcats got a nice snowshoe hare to eat! Any other guesses?

The “Redwall” book series I read as a kid might be my first awareness of badgers as a species. In the books, all the badger characters are fierce warriors with grumpy, independent personalities.

Wildlife conservation takes a community.

Our Human-Bear Coexistence Project is a great example. Community science gives people a way to participate directly in understanding and conserving the wildlife around us. Our volunteers hike miles of trails, check wildlife cameras, collect observations, and help turn thousands of pieces of information into something meaningful for our community.

This October during Give Methow, you can be part of our work, too. Donate at www.givemethow.org.

Fantastic field day with Home Range Wildlife Researcher Carmen Vanbianchi leading a field trip into lynx habitat for an amazing group of transboundary, Canada and Washington biologists. The collaboration was hosted by the Cascadia Partner Forum, and highlighted methow river salmon restoration sites, lynx boreal forests and methow beaver relocation streams. Fire, climate change and dynamic ecosystem complexity were key factors contributing to healthy populations for all of these Methow species.

To support this type of amazing wildlife conservation work happening here in the Methow, you can donate thru Give Methow, a fundraising campaign that started today, Oct 1!
