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
Biodiversity 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.

Pollinator pathways across landscapes: floral occurrence, pollinator richness, and plant/pollinator interactions in the Oregon Coast Range
This 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 MoreMarten and Fisher Surveys
NCASI will provide an evaluation of recent wildfires on forest carnivores, focused on fishers (Pekania pennanti) and Pacific martens (Martes caurina).
Learn MoreIdentifying science-based conservation opportunities for Humboldt martens
This is a multi-faceted telemetry study paired with non-invasive techniques to evaluate critical information gaps for Humboldt martens.
Learn MoreRed Tree Voles in Working Forests
A 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 MoreFisher conservation in Oregon under the Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances (CCAA) program
Projects will address fisher distributions, population trends, habitat relationships, and other activities that inform fisher conservation.
Learn MoreBLM OR/WA Coos Bay Coastal Marten Surveys
The proposed work would survey in areas of relatively contiguous forested habitat with characteristics likely to support marten.
Learn MoreHumboldt marten connectivity in the southern Oregon coast ranges
This 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 MoreAssessing wildlife value of slash piles including implications for martens and fishers
This project explores opportunities for increased conservation value on working forest landscapes for martens and fishers in Northern Californian and the southern Oregon coast.
