The mammal fauna of the Experimental Forest of the Hokkaido Forestry Research Institute was surveyed by camera traps. Two cameras were placed at four sites alternately from May to November, 2006 and 2007. Cameras worked for 536 days in total. Seven native species including Sciurus vulgaris orientis, Tamias sibiricus lineatus, Vulpes vulpes schrenkii, Nyctereutes procyonoides, Ursus arctos lasiotus, Martes zibellina and Cervus nippon yesoensis, and an alien mammal Procyon lotor were found by camera traps. Pictures of Muridae and Chiroptera animals were also taken, but species cannot be identified by photographs. Browsing scar and dung suggest the inhabitation of Lepus timidus ainu in the Experimental Forest, but no picture was taken. We made the list of mammals in Hokkaido, and species found in the Experimental Forest during 2006-2007 were checked.
