In cooperation with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, the ICVE is recruiting a Field Technician to assist in assessing habitat of Mountain Beavers (Aplodontia rufa) in the east Lake Tahoe Basin and Carson Range, NV. In this region, mountain beavers live in forested riparian habitat and their restricted occurrence in west-central Nevada is poorly documented.
Working with two others, the Field Technician will conduct surveys for mountain beaver and their sign, and assess habitat characteristics, including vegetation and thermal features, using standard methods. The Field Technician may also have opportunities to participate in other ongoing studies of small mammals and birds in the vicinity.
