Link Up: Admin parking lot.

Depart: 1000 (at Michael's request, lol)

Return: Upon completion

Objective(s):  Improve overall safety at STAF by installing road signs (navigation, emergency response, etc...), and providing an opportunity for tribal member engagement. Members of the Moses family will have the chance to place their family road signs at key intersections within STAF.

Wildlife: conduct amphib ASMT at Winter Lake and the blessing site and replace batteries in the cell cam. If time permits, we may walk the talus slope to conduct a small habitat ASMT.

Matt B and 1 WFC staff (Aaron?)

1) check on the 3 installed loggers / download their data - replace any if needed

2) deploy the additional 3 loggers

3) investigate the road crossing that we collectively determined may be of interest. We will not bring out the total station - this is more of a gut check to determine if the crossing is worth inventorying at a future date.

4) investigate the crossing behind the connex to determine if this is a restoration opportunity.

5) collect eDNA for 'any salmonid' at selected sites. If this is the case Aaron will set up the GIS before we head out with assigned collection locations.
