Show Notes
Fishers, once extinct in Western Washington, are making a comeback after years of restoration efforts. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife released over 170 fishers between 2015 and 2019, and theyve been reintroduced in the Olympic mountains. Biologist Jeff Lewis reports positive signs, with fishers holding steady and exploring new areas. Surveys show solid distribution in the southern Cascades and patchy distribution in the north. Conservationist Dave Werntz agrees that populations are established, but long-term strength is being tracked. This slow, steady growth suggests fishers may reclaim their throne in the region.
