spent two years living among mountain goats in Montana’s Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area. This experience was the start of a 45-year fascination with North America’s premier mountaineer. He has also collaborated on a statewide review of the species, synthesizing
55 years of population data from across Montana's herds. </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px">

of the mountain goat’s natural history, behavior, and population status. You'll learn about the starkly different fortunes of Montana's native and introduced goat populations, as well as how the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest's current draft plan for
the Great Burn threatens the native mountain goat populations in this area. </span>
