Front Range Pika Protocols - Data Loggers

NOTE: When placing the Data Logger Tail in the talus please thread it around several rocks rather than wrapping it around one rock many times as shown in the video.
Threading it around several rocks draws less attention which minimizes the chance of the Data Logger being disturbed. The Front Range Pika Project is a citizen science program that engages the public in conservation research on the American pika.
Pika Patrol volunteers follow monitoring protocols to collect data about pikas and their habitat in high altitude field sites thereby informing efforts to assess whether pikas are impacted by climate change.
The project will provide long-term data to aid the conservation of this little-understood alpine species and its associated habitats.
Join the Pika Patrol to contribute to pika monitoring studies currently underway throughout the West and help us better understand this native Colorado species! www.pikapartners.org This video instructs volunteers on placing data loggers at the field sites.
