Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This GIS research project provides info how clear-cut logging effects humans relationship to the forest and is threatening the Humboldt Marten. The Humboldt Marten, Martes caurina humboltensis, is historically found exclusively in Humboldt County and is currently registered as a “species of concern” or "threaten species" in the State of California and does not have an official “endangered species” status. As unsustainable timber harvesting continues, the Marten species faces threats to their home range and the impacts of logging include environmental, economic, and social aspects. This project is in support of the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC) located in Arcata, Ca.
