Mammal Species Status in Massachusetts

Hey all,

One of my goals with this project is to provide better protection for threatened species at the Quabbin. One way we can do this is by staying up to date with the status of the mammals inhabiting Massachusetts. I've listed the Massachusetts status of state-listed mammal species according to Mass Wildlife's Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program below:

Endangered: Eastern Small-footed Bat, Little Brown Bat, Northern Long-eared Bat, Indiana Bat, Tricolored Bat

Special Concern: Rock Shrew, Water Shrew, Southern Bog Lemming

If you find any of these animals in the Quabbin region, please obscure the location in your observation. I'm also going to be participating as a Curator for iNaturalist so I can help obscure observations as well. Let's protect these guys, thank you!

Best,
Brendan
