Friend,
Animal use at Pika haypiles highlight biodiversity in Bodie Hills The Bodie Hills' unique geography characteristics lends itself to being one of the most biodiverse areas in the Great Basin. Understandably, many environmental, geological, ecological, and other scientific research have been conducted in this living laboratory. Local USFS scientist emerita and long-time pika researcher, Constance Millar, teamed up with expert camera trapper, Kenneth Hickman, to document pikas via camera traps in the Bodie Hills and surrounding areas. They photographed 26 of the 30 documented mammal species of the area and 10 bird species. The cameras were set near pika haypiles (caches of food) over the span of five years. Learn more about this unique study and see some of the incredible images of wildlife captured by the research team. Here's a preview of the cute critters! |

Ecoflight video release In this newly released flyover video, BHCP campaign coordinator Jora Fogg talks about the Bodie Hills with Ecoflight president and chief pilot Bruce Gordon.
