The RFW class snow tracking labs results indicated higher species richness than that of the 4 plots
surveyed (table 6). Bear, large weasel, and dog signs were documented during the class project and were
not observed at all 4 lynx project plots. Moose and mouse were documented at 4 project plots and were
not observed during the class project. The species diversity (Shannon-Weiner index) was just slightly
higher than that of the lowest ranking site (plot 2) and evenness was lower than that of all 4 plots.
