Management:
Implement acoustic detectors during winter, avoiding early spring, to maximize number of squirrel recordings over other mammal sounds. Social & Cultural: The habitat that CNFS occupy is at risk for future developments.
Adaptive Decision for 2023
Management or Methodological Changes: Work towards creating an automated process for finding flying squirrels within recordings to streamline the process. Gain management experience from the spruce-fir working group and add restoration plans to our land management plan. Obtain an updated ESA permit. Social & Cultural Changes: Maintain ESA compliance and advise on projects that occur at high elevations in vital CNFS habitat.
