Pacific Pocket Mouse (Perognathus longimembris pacificus)
Client: United States Geological Survey (USGS)
Project: Dana Point Pacific Pocket Mouse Restoration
Location: Dana Point, California
Description: Wildscape worked with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to demarcate and clear 2.6 acres of land for the preservation of the critically endangered Pacific Pocket Mouse (PPM) in Dana Point, California. Dana Point Preserve has the smallest population of Pacific Pocket Mice. Surveys indicated a decline in population on site and immediate habitat management was needed to help ensure the persistence of the species. To ensure a suitable habitat for PPM, Wildscape provided a field crew with hand equipment and tools such as chainsaws, weed whackers, and hula hoes to clear dead vegetation from the property before the end of the hibernation season of the PPM. Working with oversight from a USGS biologist, Wildscape filled several roll-off bins with debris in order to clear the areas demarcated by a Wildscape biologist and foreman. Vegetation was cut and hauled over the 2.6-acre restoration site across a period of four weeks in order to provide the quality and efficiency needed.
