Cabinet Purcell mountain corridor
The CPMC is one of the two remaining areas in the Y2Y region where grizzly bears can move back and forth between Canada and the U.S. This priority area covering more than 43,750 square miles and representing approximately nine percent of the in tire Y2Y region extends from golden British Columbia south to Missoula Montana. The CPMC Is one of the most important linkages in the entire Y2Y region that allows wildlife to move from one key area to another. The CPMC includes several wet belt forests and the headwaters of many important salmon and trout rivers which supply drinking and irrigation waters for millions of people down stream. We also have six national parks in the CMPC.
Task #2, Task #3, Task #4 - Gavin and Kate
Our area also has a bunch of different forests that consist of a bunch
of different species of trees such as Lodgepole Pine, Trembling Aspen
and White and Black Pine. Other than trees there are shrubs, grasses
and low growing heather. Some of the animals in our area are native
trout and salmon, wolverines, grizzly bears and other wildlife.In our
area a lot of minerals are found in the water. Some of those minerals
include Digenite, Enargite, Covellite, Veszelyite and Copper.
A unique aspect about our area is that is is a grizzly bear habitat!
Grizzly bears are endangered, the Cabinet-Purcell Mountain Corridor
(CPMC) is like "Grizzly Bear Central", there is food found in rivers
and lakes, habitat and mates. Even though they are endangered
elsewhere, the CPMC is somewhere they can enjoy their lives. The CPMC
has the least road in all of the Y2Y area which make is perfect for
plants and animals to live and grow.
Our priority area is in the south restore. The south restore is mostly
in the US but has two areas that are in Canada and the US which are
the CPMC and the Crown of the Continent. Both are considered linkages
from the US to Canada.
Ponderosa pine is a coniferous tree. These trees are native to to
western US and southern Canada. Ponderosa pine trees can grow to be 75
feet tall and there trunk are 30-60 inch in diameter. These trees
normally have yellow or orange-brown bark, but has brown bark when
they are small. The word ponderosa mean thick which represents the
thickness of its bark. The needles are usually 12 to 28 centimetres
long.
The Western Mountain Ash deciduous trees. Western Mountain Ash can
grow to be 20 feet tall. They grow small Apple looking berries thats
birds and mammals eat. The bark is a reddish brown colour. The leaves
sprout in late spring and the berries in early summer. The leaves are
5-15 centimetres long, with around 20 leafs per branch.
Birch tree is a thin leaved deciduous tree that typically grows 50 to
70 feet tall. The trunk is white and is used for structures and
medicine.
The Engelmann Spruce is a coniferous tree. They can grow to be 84 feet
tall with a trunk that's up to a 1.5 meters in diameter. The bark is
thin and brown, and is easy to peel off. The needles and 13-30
millimetres long. The Engelmann Spruce has pin ones that are around 4
inches long.
Some of the native plants in the CPMC area include Serviceberry, Big
Sagebrush, Fourwing Saltbush, Curlleaf Mt. Mahogany, Redosier Dogwood,
Shrubby Cinquefoil, Silverberry and Common Juniper. A lot of native
animals in the CPMC are large animals, but the are still small animals
such as grizzly bears, wolfs, elk, raccoons and beaversTap on this for the link
