Mt. goat education coordinator hired

This coming summer, a joint effort with Idaho Fish and Game, the US Forest Service and Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness will put volunteer trail ambassadors on Scotchman Peak Trail 65. Although the ambassadors will serve several purposes, the main thrust of their presence will be to educate visitors to the peak about mountain goats and why it’s a good idea to stay away from them. The trail ambassadors will be wearing Forest Service volunteer shirts and FSPW hats. They will be taking surveys about any experiences that visitors might have with mountain goats, whether confrontational or not.
