It is quite probable that those construction workers built their own pole lean-tos, brush shelters, or some type of dug-outs. Before Cass was incorporated and named in 1902, it could be that the men with families who came early to work for the company built small rough-lumber cottages off company property.

  • West Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel (WVNFS), Glauconzys Sabrinus Fuscus Five Year Status Review Appendix B — Capture Site Summaries
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service — West Virginia Field Office West Virginia northern flying squirrel (WVNFS), Glauconzys sabrinus fuscus Five Year Status Review Appendix B — Capture Site Summaries Attached are the summaries for the 105 West Virginia northern flying squirrel (WVNFS), G.s. fuscus, capture sites l in West Virginia. Although biologists occasionally use live-trapping, nest boxes have been the primary tool for population surveys for the WVNFS. Biologists place transects of nest boxes in a survey area and check the boxes periodically for occupancy, typically twice each year, in fall and spring. Northern flying squirrels are nocturnal, leaving their nests to forage at night and returning during the day, which facilitates daytime nest box monitoring. The success of nest box monitoring relies on the squirrels occupying the boxes during the day of the survey. Menzel (2003) found that no WVNFS in her radio telemetry study used nest boxes (despite their availability) as den sites. All nests were either natural tree cavities (i.e. dens) or dreys (i.e. outside nests constructed of leaves, twigs, lichens, etc.). She also noted WVNFS used multiple den sites, switching nests on average every 3 days in summer, and utilizing up to 12 den sites per month in lesser quality habitat (Menzel 2000, Menzel et al. 2004). Further, the nest box monitoring program conducted by the DNR had a 2% average success rate of squirrel occupancy per box checked. These data confirm the difficulty of capturing squirrels via nest boxes and caution against relying on nest box survey results to determine occupied habitat, i.e., although a captured individual affirms presence, an empty nest box does not necessarily signify absence or unoccupied habitat.

  • Area Information
    AREA INFORMATION The area is known as the Potomac Highlands. The Allegheny Mountains run right through the region which is the highest watershed for the Potomac River, the largest river feeding into the Chesapeake Bay. The region is renowned for amazing views, high elevation blueberry and spruce stands, dense rhododendron thickets, hundreds of Brook Trout streams, and miles of backcountry trails. Much of the Potomac Highlands is within the one million acre Monongahela National Forest which features National Wilderness areas like Otter Creek, Dolly Sods, Cranberry Glades, Roaring Plains West, and Laurel Fork North. The region is ideal for hiking, rock climbing, skiing, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and hunting which are all popular activities in the area. The Shavers Fork is a stocked trout stream and maintained by WV Division of Natural Resources, as are many other rivers in the area. Wonderful skiing can be experienced at Timberline, Canaan Valley, Whitegrass Nordic Center Ski areas and Snowshoe Mountain Resort, which are all less than 40 miles from our door. State Parks and forests in the area include Blackwater Falls, Canaan Valley, Audra, Kumbrabow, Seneca, and Cathedral. Federal Recreation areas include Spruce Knob & Seneca Rocks management area, Smoke Hole Canyon, Stuarts Recreation Area, Gaudineer Knob, and Spruce Knob Lake. The region is within 5 hours of half of the nation’s population yet offers a mountain playground second to none. Elkins deserves its high ranking in America's Best Small Art Towns. Elkins is home to Davis and Elkins College and the Augusta Heritage Arts Center, The Mountain State Forest Festival and our thriving Randolph County Community Arts Center (www.randolpharts.org).

  • WV Hunting & Trapping Regulations
    WEST VIRGINIA A N HUNTING D TRAPPING Regulations Summary JULY 2019 ‒ JUNE 2020 wvdnr.gov From the Director Access to viable hunting areas and land has long been identified in nationwide surveys as a limitation for those people wanting to hunt. While West Virginia has been blessed with approximately one million acres of National Forest land and another 500,000 acres of state-owned or managed land, one region of the State has had limited public land available to outdoor enthusiasts—until now! Over the past year, West Virginia Division of Natural Resources officials have partnered with The Conservation Fund to acquire 31,218 acres of public land in the west-central region of the state. These efforts have resulted in the creation of seven new wildlife management areas (WMAs), as well as expansion of three other WMAs. The new properties are in Calhoun, Doddridge, Jackson, Pleasants, Ritchie, Wirt and Wood counties. Funds from various sources were used in this land acquisition project, including hunting license monies, Wildlife Restoration Program federal funds, as well as contributions from various pipeline development companies and non-governmental organizations. I would like to thank Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC, Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc., and TC Energy for their monetary donations. The contributions are a result of an agreement between the pipeline development companies and the DNR to provide conservation measures for forest-dependent wildlife and their associated habitats affected as a result of development of natural pipeline projects. Our staff will manage these new lands to enhance essential wildlife habitat for a variety of forestland species.
