Below is a list of the mammals we have seen in this forest and shore. Some, like the moose, have not been seen in quite a while, whereas other are increasing. We are particularly pleased that flying squirrels are now becoming common in our forest. They are one of the surest indicators of having attaining a healthy, old-growth forest. This is because trees in a mature forest are spaced far enough apart that flying squirrels can glide.
