Summary
Remote camera stations were set up in Lassen Volcanic National Park from August to October 2017 and June to September 2018 to document occurrence of mesocarnivores and other wildlife. 126 cameras were set up at 32 primary sampling units (clusters of two to four cameras) throughout the park. Random locations for primary sampling units were chosen using a 3-km sampling grid over the park area. 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), Sierra Nevada [...]

Purpose
The goal of this project is to systematically document the distribution of three mesocarnivore species of conservation concern (Pacific fisher, Pacific marten, and Sierra Nevada red fox) in potentially suitable habitats within Lassen Volcanic National Park. The data provides a baseline inventory of carnivore species in the park and can be used to assess whether any of the three mesocarnivore species occur in priority areas for management activity. The probability of occurrence of a species with sufficient sample size can be determined using this dataset.
