AZGFD Black-footed Ferret Spotlighting (March)

Black-footed Ferret Spotlighting Event (March)

March 29th – 31st, count concludes early Sunday morning, April 1st. 

The Black-footed Ferret Project will again be hosting their spring spotlighting events in Aubrey Valley and on the Double O Ranch, and the project is going to host a 3-night event in March, and a 4-night event in April (see April announcement). Spring events are held to assess the ferret population after winter, to trap kits that were not caught in the fall, and to try and trap older ferrets that need a canine distemper or plague booster.

Please RVSP at your earliest convenience by March 23rd for the March event
