The Arizona Game and Fish Department is searching for volunteers to help find endangered ferrets outside Flagstaff.

From March 21-25 and April 18-21 the agency will be holding search sessions in Aubrey Valley and Double O Ranch near Seligman.

The volunteers will need to know how to use a GPS and will use high-power lights to see the nocturnal black-footed ferrets between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The Black-footed ferrets are one of the most endangered mammals in North America according to the Arizona Game and Fish Department website.
