It’s been six years since the Pacific marten was seen on the wet corner of Washington, the Olympic Peninsula. And Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation (ASC), the Bozeman, Montana-based nonprofit is helping look for them.

Thanks to a grant from the National Forest Foundation, ASC is working closely with the Forest Service to set-up and maintain monitoring stations, twenty cameras in all.

Find out what lure they’ve used and the challenges they’ve faced in the full article in the summer/fall issue of Your National Forests.
