The Cabinet-Purcell Mountain Corridor
Animals: Big horn sheep, Elk, Bears, Wolverines, Wolves
Trees: Elm, Maple, Evergreens, Fir, Spruce
Minerals: Coal, Gold, Oil
How does our animals, plants and trees make our area unique?
These things make are area unique because our area is only one of two that grizzly bears cross. Another thing is we have a lot of coal and oil but not a lot of gold. The trees also make this region unique because we have the least amount of diversity.
Spruce and Maple: Some the trees are huge and they could be over 100 years old. The maples elms and spruce trees are huge. They took a long time to clear cut before the 1970's. Then they invented the chainsaw. Anyway the maples are probably the most prominent tree in the region.
The spruce tree is also a major prominint tree for land logging in this region, and is very much used for resources like houses, paper, and newspapers.
Wolves:Habitat: Depending on the wolf, you will find them in a different area. Red wolves live in the southeastern United States. Grey wolves live all over the world mostly in Alaska and Canada. Average life span: The ir average life span is 6 to 8 years.Size: The size of their head and body 91 to 160 cm. The size of the tail is 33 to 51 cm. Weight: Their weight is between 18 to 79 kg. Protection status: Their protection status is endangered. Diet: Wolves eat ungulates (any hoofed animal), as well as beavers, rabbits and other small animals. Cool facts: Wolves are legendary because of their howl. Wolves live and hunt in packs of around six to ten wolves. There are estimated 7,000 to 11,200 grey wolves in Alaska.
Bears: Habitat: You can find Grizzlies near Alaska and North America. Average life span: Their average life span is 25 years. Size: Their size is 5 to 8 ft. Weight: Their weight is 363 kg. Protection status: Their protection status is threatened. Diet: Their diet is small rodents, fish, deer, elk, carrion, human garbage, berries, roots and grasses. Cool facts: Grizzly bears have a better sense than a hound dog does. Their is estimated 1,800 grizzly bears left in the lower 48 states. Grizzlies use "rub trees" scratch their back. They usually leave hair and their scent on the trees

The cabinet-purcell mountain corridor is one of the two remanding Y2y regions that grizzly bears can travel from Canada to the U.S. This region is 43 750 square miles (70 000 km2), it conects to Golden, British Columbia (B.C.), south to Missoula, Montana, and encompasses the Purcell, Cabinet, Selkirk and Bitterroot mountain ranges. Our region supples drinking and irrigation water for millions of people downstream

1) Why is our area valued?
In our area we have 6 national parks. One of are endangered species is the grizzy bear. It is very important that we use these 6 national parks to protect these endangered creatures. Carabrook and Creston is in CPMC. (Cabinet-Purcell Mountain Corridor)
