Pacific Marten habitat use and distribution on the Gold Beach Ranger District
The marten is currently listed under the ESA as Threatened and this work ties directly to the management of marten habitat on RRSNF lands.
Learn MoreBiodiversity is a critical element of life on this planet. We are interdependent on other species to support healthy and functioning ecosystems, provide nutrition, pollinate crops and break down pollution. The NCASI Foundation supports projects focused on understanding the relationships between sustainable forest management and biodiversity. This includes understanding the contributions that working forests make to conservation of at-risk species. This work is being accomplished through collaborative conservation with many partners.

Learn MoreThis project will be evaluating the occurrence of multiple taxa (bees, bats, passerines, hummingbirds) and quantifying their interactions and use of the existing floral community.
Learn MoreNCASI will provide an evaluation of recent wildfires on forest carnivores, focused on fishers (Pekania pennanti) and Pacific martens (Martes caurina).
Learn MoreThis is a multi-faceted telemetry study paired with non-invasive techniques to evaluate critical information gaps for Humboldt martens.
Learn MoreA more comprehensive examination of whether young forest expands the availability of suitable habitat for red tree voles will provide needed information for conservation and management decisions.
Learn MoreProjects will address fisher distributions, population trends, habitat relationships, and other activities that inform fisher conservation.
Learn MoreThe proposed work would survey in areas of relatively contiguous forested habitat with characteristics likely to support marten.
Learn MoreThis effort will help to identify whether southern Oregon has multiple small meta-populations, making them more vulnerable to local extinctions and genetic isolation, or whether martens constitute a connected population, increasing resiliency.
Learn MoreThis project explores opportunities for increased conservation value on working forest landscapes for martens and fishers in Northern Californian and the southern Oregon coast.
