Inventory of Mammals (Excluding Bats) of George Washington Birthplace National Monument (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492356707)

A survey of mammals (bats excluded) at George Washington Birthplace National Monument (GEWA) was conducted from 2002 to 2003 to document the presence of > 90% of the mammals in the park, describe their distributions and relative abundances, quantify habitat-specific species diversity, and provide recommendations for management and conservation. Surveys relied on live trapping with Sherman and Tomahawk traps for small to medium-size mammals, the use of pitfall traps to capture small shrews, direct observation of individuals and their sign (tracks, scats), and remote photography. We identified five principal habitats - grassland (fields), mixed deciduous-coniferous forest, pine plantations, logged areas (of mixed forest), and wetlands - and several less expansive habitats, and targeted locations for sampling.
