We are doing a "Keeping Tracks" program, looking for animals (mainly focal species like mink, marten, fisher, bear, moose, bobcat, wolf, and cougar) in the beaver pond in the Sutton Mountain of the Appalachian chain (in the South Easth part of Quebec), which is a great wetland.  We would like to know if you did inventories of animals tracks up there? Can you hypothesize about the environmental conditions where you are?
