Good morning, fisher
There are few things in life that will get me out of bed at five in the morning, especially on weekends. I love mornings, but I love lazy mornings even more, habitually slapping the snooze button and curling back up into the warmth of my bed no matter what day it happens to be. But a couple of Saturdays ago, things were a little different.
Solstice gifts for all creatures, great and small
It seems that the Solstice and upcoming holidays are going to be good to wildlife big and small, and right about now we feel a bit like Santa’s elves!
Thanks for a wild Northwest!
Like many of you, I spend the holidays with family, enjoying the beauty of Washington's wildest places and my time with family. I am thankful for the mossy, old forests of the Olympic Peninsula I can wander with my nieces, and Conservation Northwest is thankful for supporters like you! What will you be thankful for this season?
Think your holiday travel is hard?
When the weather outside is frightful, news on the latest wildlife success sure is delightful. Over the last 2 winters, nearly 50 fisher came to the Olympic Peninsula from BC, with a little help from Conservation Northwest and our partners. This year, even more of these elusive forest mammals are starting their journey to bolster northwest biodiversity, and their trip makes the airport this Wednesday look easy. But, in the end, their travels and the travails of those finding our newest residents are well worth the effort, biologically speaking.
