Spotters, here are some helpful tools to identify the different mammals that live in the Pioneer Valley! For the complete list of mammals we are interested in observing, see our Report a Sighting page.
While you’re out in nature, you might come across an animal or a sign of one. With the Trails Outdoor GPS logbook app, you can log the type of animal and the location, and even upload a photo! You can make note of the animal’s size, color, and shape, as well as any scat, tracks, or markings on trees or the ground that you see. Click on the link below for instructions on how to download and use the app:
