For the first time since they were hunted to regional extinction in the mid-20th century, wild fishers are reproducing in the North Cascades. A trail camera in Chelan county caught a female fisher, released as part of the ongoing reintroduction program in 2018, moving her four kits on April 18.
“Seeing one fisher kit born in the wild North Cascades is a wonder; a group of wild kits is phenomenal,” says Dave Werntz, Science and Conservation Director for Conservation Northwest. “This new family is an auspicious sign that these reintroduced fishers are finding a good home in the North Cascades.”
