They both passed away in October 2013. As you can imagine, the sheer length of their service makes us think of OTHER BOARD MEMBERS Pat and Phil as ideal illustrations of long-term commitment and dedication to a cause. Bruce Barnbaum NCCC was formed to protect and preserve the North Cascades. One of our early goals was to get a Park created, but a lot of unprotected wild land re- Polly Dyer mained outside that Park. For more than half a century, Pat and Phil were actively engaged in NCCC’s campaign to create the Park and Wilderness areas Charles Ehlert listed in our organizational description on the opposite page. Philip Fenner In addition to serving on NCCC’s board, Pat and Phil also took on the added burden and responsibility of serving as officers of NCCC for almost the whole 56 Dave Fluharty years they were on the Board. Phil was the first President of NCCC. Pat had be- come President by the time Congress created the Park and the Recreation Areas, Anders Forsgaard and that’s reflected in the photo of Pat shaking hands with Lyndon Johnson (see back cover of this issue). Kevin Geraghty Pat later served as NCCC’s Chairman and Phil as Corporate Secretary for many Ed Henderson years. That’s a lot of Board meetings to attend, a lot of Board minutes to write, a lot of corporate governance work, a lot of organizational decision-making, in ad- Fayette Krause dition to all of the advocacy work they were doing in the public arena and out in the woods. Pat also distributed this magazine to our members after the printers Dave LeBlanc had printed it. Pat and Phil did all of that, and they did it for an exceptionally long time. By Betty Manning doing so, they served as a valuable part of NCCC’s institutional memory, helping to keep NCCC relevant and effective, to make this organization an enduring in- Carolyn McConnell stitution and a long-lasting contributor to conservation efforts in the Northwest. Rick McGuire We are grateful to Pat and Phil for their dedicated service. When we think about all the advocacy work of Pat and Phil, it’s worth re- Thom Peters membering that they were doing it for more than a decade before the country enacted our main environmental laws – laws protecting clean air, clean water, Thom Schroeder endangered species and environmental values in governmental decision-making. As we’ve heard many times, our victories are temporary, and our losses are Laura Zalesky permanent. Park and wilderness boundaries and environmental protection laws don’t operate in a vacuum – they won’t work unless people are vigilantly paying attention to what’s happening on the ground and in the community, people who are willing to do something to protect those lands and enforce those laws. Through their dedication to NCCC, Pat and Phil served the community’s need for long-term follow-through and institutional memory. We’re grateful to their families for letting Pat and Phil dedicate so much of their lives to our organiza- tion. Karl F.

  • The Wild Cascades
    THE WILD CASCADES Fall, 1984 2 The Wild Cascades PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ONCE THE LINES ARE DRAWN, THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER The North Cascades Conservation Council has developed a reputation for consistent, hard-hitting, responsible action to protect wildland resources in the Washington Cascades. It is perhaps best known for leading the fight to preserve and protect the North Cascades in the North Cascades National Park, the Pasayten and Glacier Peak Wilderness Areas, and the Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas. Despite the recent passage of the Washington Wilderness Act, many areas which deserve and require wilderness designation remain unprotected. One of the goals of the N3C must be to assure protection for these areas. In this issue of the Wild Cascades we have analyzed the Washington Wilderness Act to see what we won and what still hangs in the balance (page ). The N3C will continue to fight to establish new wilderness areas, but there is also a new challenge. Our expertise is increasingly being sought by government agencies to assist in developing appropriate management plans and to support them against attempts to undermine such plans. The invitation to participate more fully in management activities will require considerable effort, but it represents a challenge and an opportunity that cannot be ignored. If we are to meet this challenge we will need members who are either knowledgable or willing to learn about an issue and to guide the Board in its actions. The Spring issue of the Wild Cascades carried a center section with two requests: 1) volunteers to assist and guide the organization on various issues; and 2) payment of dues.

Read Full License Page 1/25 Abstract Background: The spatial distribution and seasonal movement patterns of isolated populations of mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) in the North Cascade range of Washington State is not fully understood. Determining harvest potential in these populations is challenging without a clear understanding of spatiotemporal movement, space use, and spatial overlap. Mountain goat populations in the North Cascades are fragmented and many have declined considerably from historic estimates. Identication of harvestable populations requires a clear understanding of population size, distribution, and movement. We investigated the population trends and spatial distribution of mountain goats in the Boulder River North Harvest Area in Boulder River Wilderness of Washington State. Methods: We reviewed recent mountain goat population estimates and used Global Positioning System collar data to determine year-round and seasonal home range distributions, spatial overlap within these ranges, and proximity of mountain goats to roads and trails. Results: We found 2 populations of mountain goats inhabiting the Whitehorse and Three Fingers Mountains in the Boulder River North Harvest Area.
