Vertebrate Species in progress

American Badger Connectivity Study

The purpose of surveys in 2015 was to determine if badger use is irregular, seasonal, or consistent in areas where badgers have been documented in recent inventory and survey efforts and to examine whether badger activity is related to prey availability. USGS will regularly survey areas (every 3-4 weeks) where badgers were detected in 2012-14. Surveys will include on the ground searches for badger burrows and other sign, as well as the use of infrared cameras set up in known use areas to identify badger use patterns.
