Pine marten in Yorkshire...

Aim

For the first time in over 24 years, we've confirmed there are pine marten in the forests of the North York Moors. We need to find out more.

After 4 years of searching, NatureSpy and a team of hard-working volunteers finally got the proof they needed - pine marten are living on the North York Moors. 

But now we have a lot more questions and need to take the project to the next step. 

We need to find out;

• How many there are?
• Is this the only one?
• Where has this marten come from - is he a Yorkshire native, Scottish, illegal release etc?

To do this, it's vital we raise funds. These funds will go towards answering these questions, through:

• Purchase of more camera traps to increase our coverage
• Purchase of hair traps so that we can extract DNA
• Cover costs of running the project

It's a tremendously excited time to be studying martens in the vast North York Moors forests, and we hope you will be a part of it...
