Scotchman Peaks mountain goat ambassadors needed
The Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness will offer mountain goat ambassador training on May 31 just before the annual State of the Scotchman program.
The mountain goat ambassador program is in its third year. Goat ambassadors hike the popular Scotchman Peaks area trails educating hikers on how to avoid contacting the goats that call the area home.
In 2017 the ambassadors were credited with reducing human-goat encounters.
The program will start June 16 and run through October.
The keynote speaker at this year’s State of the Scotchman is goat expert Gayle Joslin.
The goat ambassador training will start at 5 p.m. at the Oden Town Hall just off Sunnyside east of Kootenai on 200.
