Indian Valley Record Wednesday, Dec. 21,2011 9A UC wildlife researchers seek single socks A University of California wildlife research team work- ing in the Sierra Nevada is asking the public to donate clean gently used socks for re- search on a rare weasel called the Pacific fisher. The team is part of the Sier- ra Nevada Adaptive Manag e - ment Project (SNAMP), which is examining the effects of for- est thinning, as currently done by the U.S. Forest Ser- vice, on the health of local wildlife, the forest and water resources. The U.S. Forest Service implements these thinning treatments out of concern for excessive fire risk. But what kind of research could go through hundreds of socks a month? After years of experimentation, the re- the scientists to identify the species. The researchers are going through 250 pairs a month, at a considerable cost, to create the "chicken in a sock" bait stations to survey the distrib- search team has determined Ution of Pacific fishers in a that socks are the ideal re- ceptacle for hanging fisher bait in trees. The baited socks are hung in trees in view of motion-activated cameras. As the animal moves, climbing the tree and chewing on the sock, the camera takes photos that allow 500-square-mile area of forest near Bass Lake. Besides the cost, Rick Sweitzer, UC Berkeley wildlife biologist and project leader, is spending time in the Wal-Mart checkout line with a cart full of socks when he could be doing research. The scientists don&apos;t need new socks; they would prefer old, unmatched, non-holey ones, something everyone has clut- tering up their sock drawers. In an effort to reduce, reuse and recycle, the SNAMP wildlife research team is putting out a call for lost and lonely socks. Socks may be de- livered or mailed to 40799 E1- liott Dr., Oakhurst, CA 93644. The'Pacific fisher is a small nocturnal carnivore that perches and dens in large old- growth pine and oak trees. Once widespread across the high elevation forests of the Sierra Nevada and in the coastal mountains of north- western California, fishers are now only found in two small isolated populations. One group lives near the Cali- fornia-Oregon border. The other is in the southern Sier- ra Nevada. Data being collected by UC scientists about the move- ments, habitat preferences and survival of fishers in the southern Sierra Nevada will be used to aid the multiple agencies, academic institu- tions, environmental groups and mountain residents who are working together to en- sure that long-term wildland management promotes forest health, wildfire control and wildlife conservation.

Indian Valley Fire Chief Jim Hamblin and his wife, Marion, enjoy dancing at the annual Firemen's Ball. This year's event is set for Jan. 14, 2012. Tickets, $30, are available at Evergreen Market, Mohawk Trading Company and Hunter Ace Hardware, all in Greenville.
