Out On A Limb with West Fraser

About:

This episode of Out On A Limb spotlights West Fraser’s work around Quesnel, supported by expertise from Government of BC biologists and Esk’etemc Lands and Resources Guardians. Join Janelle Hale and Laurel La Riviere as they explain their approach to managing fisher habitat using the Fisher Habitat Retention Spatial Data and Tool (the “Fisher Tool”). Sandra Frey, Carnivore Conservation Biologist with the Government of BC, also shares an accessible overview of fisher behaviour, their habitat needs, and how forest practitioners can use the Fisher Tool to guide their prescriptions.
