This environmental research grant is offered to investigate the responses of snowshoe hares, a crucial prey species for Canada lynx, to various changes in forest structure within Montana. The primary purpose of this grant is to identify and analyze which specific silvicultural treatments have either detrimental or beneficial effects on snowshoe hare populations. Understanding these impacts is vital for effective wildlife management and conservation strategies, particularly given the hares’ sensitivity to habitat alterations and their ecological role. This study aims to provide crucial data for land management decisions that support healthy snowshoe hare populations and, consequently, their predators like the Canada lynx.
