D. Memmler 1941 Itinerary May 21, Russian Gulch State Park. Mendocino C. Co. One weasel trap was set in this Redwood habitat. The three remaining rat traps were set on top of large logs in the marginal habitat between Pine Barren and Redwoods. There are clumps of Deer Fern and many Arctostaphylos nearby. The trees include Redwood, Bishop Pine and Douglas fir. These however are few and there is consequently very little shade. There was no catch in these traps either. The other weasel trap was set in a darker region nearly next to a log and with Redwood habitat plants. This was also untouched. The weasel traps were set with weasel scent. May 22, Jean Boulware and I set 37 traps in the Gulch east of camp along the road in the typical Riparian-marginal habitat. There were 2 traps sprung without animals and 18 with.
