The Othello Outlook today reports the national honors that DNR biologist Scott Fisher received recently for his efforts to track the Canada lynx on state trust lands in northeast Washington State. Fisher was honored with a special achievement award from The Wildlife Society. DNR has a Lynx Habitat Management Plan to guide its forest management. The plan’s goal is to help create and preserve high-quality habitat for the lynx, which is listed as a threatended species by the state and federal governments.
