Happy New Year 2010 to Fishers

In December 2009 and January 2010, kicking off the third and final winter of fisher releases, more Pacific fishers are being reintroduced to remote sites within Olympic National Park. The releases mark the return of these deep-forest hunters to their native state after an 80-year absence from Washington's wild lands. Reintroduction of fishers, a smaller relative to the wolverine, comes thanks to a strong team of government and non-government partners including Conservation Northwest, the Doris Duke Foundation, and the Wildlife Conservation Society.
