Fishers are a close relative to wolverines which were recently reintroduced to the North Cascades.
Besides wolverines, our cameras capture images of other wildlife as well such as this American marten, a cousin of the wolverine.

Stephanie Williams climbs a tree to attach a cable to hang the attracts we use to draw in wolverines while Drew Lovell sets up lights for the camera trap. Bait is suspended between two trees on a cable to keep it out of reach of wolverines and other carnivores that visit the site.
