Another bit on the evening news, 11 fishers were released this past weekend in Olympic National Park. They were bred in British Columbia, and each of the animals was fitted with a radio tracking collar, according to an article today's Seattle Times. The reintroduction plan was crafted last year by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, in conjunction with the National Park Service. Over 100 fishers will be reintroduced in the next year at three areas of the park: Elwha-Sol Duc, Hoh-Bogachiel, and Queets-Quinault. They had been extinct in the Park for over 100 years! You Go!!
