Late-winter habitat use by the Fisher, Pekania pennanti (Erxleben, 1777) in northwestern Saskatchewan was assessed in February 2009, 2011, and 2012. A total of 78 Fisher tracks were recorded over 60 300 m of snowshoe surveys. Fisher tracks were significantly less frequent than expected in Tamarack (Larix laricina [Du Roi] K. Koch) stands with > 40% crown closure and mainly 0–10 m trees (P < 0.05) and in open areas. Fishers used other habitat types equal to availability, including muskeg and coniferous, mixed, and deciduous forest stands. Maintaining mosaics of forest stands of different seral stages interspersed with muskeg would meet the late-winter habitat needs of Fishers in the Boreal Plains Ecozone of northwestern Saskatchewan.

Natural forests will likely be unable to sustainably fulfill society needs for wood fibers and intensively managed plantations could be an alternative source of timber in the future. Abandoned farm fields are often targeted for conversion, as they are already disturbed sites; however, they also represent high-quality habitat for species such as snowshoe hares ( Lepus americanus Erxleben 1777), a keystone mammal in the boreal forest. We evaluated the effect of converting abandoned farm fields (n = 22) to conifer plantations (n = 19) on habitat use by snowshoe hares, using pellet counts and snow-tracking surveys. Both survey techniques yielded similar results: winter habitat use by hares is mostly affected by vegetation cover rather than habitat type. In the short term, plantations do not offer less protective cover than the one found in abandoned farm fields. However, upon reaching a certain height (≥7 m), plantations are mechanically pruned and lose their protective quality. Promoting silvicultural techniques that maintain lateral cover beyond a critical threshold (70%) could preserve the quality of hare habitat for an extended proportion of rotation time of the plantation.
