    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.

    West Virginia Field Office 694 Beverly Pike Elkins, West Virginia 26241 Memorandum To: Assistant Regional Director, Ecological Services From: Acting Field Supervisor, West Virginia Field Office, Elkins, WV Subject: Biological Opinion for issuance of the Incidental Take Permit (ITP) for the take of the endangered West Virginia northern flying squirrel, (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus) (WVNFS), in the Camp Wilderness Habitat Conservation Plan (CWHCP). This document represents the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) biological opinion (BO) completed in accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, ( l6 U.S.C. § l53l et seq.) (ESA), and it’s implementing regulations at 50 CFR 17, regarding the subject ITP for take of the WVNFS. The Service’s approval of an ITP application is a Federal action subject to intra-Service consultation under section 7(a)(2) of the ESA. The issuance of this ITP is based upon submission of a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) prepared by BHE Environmental, Inc. (BHE) on behalf of the applicants, Snowshoe Mountain, Inc. (SMI) and Intrawest Resorts, Inc. (IRI) (BHE Environmental, 2002), which have proposed to construct Camp Wilderness, a development consisting of approximately 55 buildings and related infrastructure on approximately 50.6 acres of occupied habitat of the WVNFS. Construction of the Camp Wilderness development is anticipated to result in the “take” of the WVNFS as a result of harm through habitat loss. This BO is based on information provided in the CWHCP, the Service’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) decision documents (FWS, 2002), the WVNFS amended recovery plan (FWS, 2001), information obtained from the scientific literature, telephone conversations, field investigations, discussions with endangered species staff of the Region 5 office (RO) and Office of the Solicitor (SOL), and other sources of information.

    Appalachian National Scenic Trail Resource Management Plan – September 2008 – Recommended: Casey Reese, Interdisciplinary Physical Scientist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: Kent Schwarzkopf, Natural Resource Specialist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: Sarah Bransom, Environmental Protection Specialist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: David N. Startzell, Executive Director, Appalachian Trail Conference Approved: Pamela Underhill, Park Manager, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Concur: Chris Jarvi, Associate Director, Partnerships, Interpretation and Education, Volunteers, and Outdoor Recreation Foreword: Purpose of the Resource Management Plan The purpose of this plan – the Appalachian Trail Resource Management Plan – is to document the Appalachian National Scenic Trail’s natural and cultural resources and describe and set priorities for management, monitoring, and research programs to ensure that these resources are properly protected and cared for. This plan is intended to provide a medium-range, 10-year strategy to guide resource management activities conducted by the Appalachian Trail Park Office and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (and other partners who wish to participate) for the next decade. It is further intended to establish priorities for funding projects and programs to manage and protect the Trail’s natural and cultural resources. In some cases, this plan recognizes and identifies the need for preparation of future action plans to deal with specific resource management issues. These future plans will be tiered to this document. Management objectives outlined in the Appalachian Trail Resource Management Plan are consistent with the Appalachian Trail Comprehensive Plan (1981, re-affirmed 1987), the Appalachian Trail Statement of Significance (2000), and the Appalachian Trail Strategic Plan (2001, updated 2005). These objectives also are based on the resource protection mandates stated in the NPS Organic Act of 1916 and the Trail’s enabling legislation, the National Trails System Act.
