Northern Flying Squirrel Population

The northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) populations in the Northeast are considered important indicators of long-term forest and ecosystem health. Population metrics can be used to predict future trends in northern flying squirrel populations, which are one of only three species of flying squirrel in North America.
