Nov 17, 2014 · To improve habitat, foresters could leave or encourage a conifer component in harvested stands and, in areas without conifers, create cover by piling downed trees and tree tops. State foresters said the new research will help in crafting forest management policies to deal with the effects of climate change on the snowshoe hare.
We anticipated that occupancy rates would be <20% for the best habitat types, and generally <10% (Table 1), but estimated occupancy rates of 5.6–38.1% among the four habitat types investigated (Table 13). Despite the greater than expected occupancy rates, however, snowshoe hares are patchily distributed.

The snowshoe hare Lepus americanus, one of our commonest forest mammals, is found only in North America. It is shy and secretive, often undetected in summer, but its distinctive tracks and well-used trails (“runways” or “leads”) become conspicuous with the first snowfall. Well-adapted to its environment, the snowshoe hare travels on ...
