Abstract:Preble’s meadow jumping mice (PMJM) are rare rodents found along creeks and waterways from southeastern Wyoming to Colorado Springs. In Colorado, PMJM are found in densely vegetation riparian corridors and wetlands along the Front Range. The biggest threat to populations is habitat conversion and alteration. Habitat regeneration and rehabilitation can return impacted riparian systems to healthier, densely-vegetation PMJM habitat. In 2018, CDOT completed the construction of a habitat restoration project intended to mitigate impacts to the existing South Boulder Creek PMJM population located in the footprint of the US 36 Managed Lane Project. The mitigation involved habitat creation and restoration at an 18-acre site known as the Granite Property in south Boulder, which is located adjacent to a known PMJM population along South Boulder Creek. This preliminary project involves a presence/absence trapping effort within the boundaries of the Granite property to provide a baseline for comparison with future data collection. Subsequent years of 2018, 2020, and 2022 (years 3, 5, 7 post-restoration) will involve a trapping effort with attempts to understand PMJM habitat use in the area.
