Columbia Land Trust: Squirrel Scouting Surveys in the Klickitat (Fri, March 24th and Sat, March 25th)
Posted by hannah.cherry
Friday, March 24th and Saturday, March 25th
10:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day

Calling all squirrel enthusiasts, citizen scientists, and outdoors-folk! You’re invited to join Columbia Land Trust for one or two days of western gray squirrel nest surveys at our Klickitat area Bowman Creek property. Each morning will kick off with an orientation on nest survey protocol, squirrel identification, safety, and site management history. We’ll then spend the day scouting the forest canopy for nests, noting observations, and tagging surveyed trees. All of this will serve to inform future land management decisions that aim to support Bowman Creek’s important western gray squirrel population. Here’s a rare opportunity to spend some time immersed within this unique woodland.
