On insular Newfoundland, the Arctic Hare reaches the southernmost limit of their distribution and are typically found in mountainous areas where elevation and climate have created an arctic-like landscape therefore making it an important herbivore species within the Tundra/Barrens ecosystem. A quadrat-based survey is being used to track the park population of Arctic hare during winter, in both low and high quality hare habitats. Eight permanent plots are sampled every 2-3 years (weather dependent) using snowmobiles equipped with GPS. The number of individuals observed in each quadrat is recorded.
