class=\"widget-title\">Mountain Goat<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Mountain Goats favour steep, rocky and rugged areas for escape terrain, and generally do not forage more than 400 metres from it. They spend winters in timbered areas on steep, south- and west-facing slopes or on wind-blown ridges where forage is exposed. Summer maternity groups move to alpine ridges and basins above this winter range.<\/p>\n<p>For populations to remain viable, they need undisturbed birthing and rearing areas, undisturbed forage areas near escape terrain, and thermal and security cover. Management focuses on winter\/kidding ranges (see map).<\/p>\n<p>A wildlife management area will be designated in the Cayoosh Range (see map) to ensure sustainable management of local goat herds while providing continued opportunities for resource development and commercial use.<\/p>\n<p>General issues across the Sub Region will be addressed below, followed by management plans specific to individual populations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1924\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter
