A look at American marten management and reintroduction efforts in Pennsylvania

The American marten is often referred to incorrectly as a pine marten because it resembles a species found in Europe. Martens are related to fishers, mink, weasels, and river otters and all produce a strong smell from the anal scent glands they use to mark their territories. According to the New York DEC website, these small, slender-bodied animals currently inhabit about a 5,300-square-mile area in the Adirondacks, mainly in the high peaks region and surrounding areas.
