Fishers (sometimes called “fisher cats”) are native to New Hampshire, but their populations appear to have declined in recent years. In this talk, Dr. Remington Moll will describe the natural history and ecology of this fascinating and sometimes misunderstood species. He will also provide an update of what we are learning through ongoing research on fisher population dynamics and survival across New Hampshire.
