This problem analysis was initiated as a joint project between the Ministry of Environment and Parks, Wildlife Branch, and the Ministry of Forests and Lands, Research Branch, in response to concern over the potential effect of logging and silvicultural practices on marten (Martes americana). Marten ranked first in revenues over all furbearers in the province for the 1984/85 trapping season. Present management policies to meet harvest demands are directed toward the manipulation of season lengths and gear restrictions with little or no emphasis on habitat management. Based on results from a trapper questionnaire, marten density was grouped into three categories and was found to correlate roughly to biogeoclimatic units in the province. Ecosystem, stand age, and type of silvicultural practice were found to influence marten activity, prey productivity and, hence, marten populations. It is recommended that baseline studies on denning, resting, and feeding requirements be initiated. Subsequent to these studies, in
