Mesocarnivore Survey of Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Klamath Network, 2018-2019

Remote camera stations were set up in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area from October 2018 to January 2019 to document occurrence of mesocarnivores and other wildlife. Forty-five single-camera sampling stations were setup throughout the park. Camera locations were chosen based on the Klamath Monitoring Network vegetation plots. The dataset contains all species observed within the study time-frame, the date and time of observation and the number of individuals detected, as well as identification for individual locations, cameras and images. Of the three target species of conservation concern (Pacific fisher (Pekania pennanti), Pacific marten (Martes caurina), and Sierra Nevada red fox (Vulpes vulpes nector)), only Pacific fisher were detected.
