HARRISBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — The American Marten, also known as the Pine Marten, is a mammal that is mostly found throughout the northern United States and Canada. The forest-dwelling omnivore was once a native species of Pennsylvania but has not been seen in the state for well over 100 years.

The 10-year reintroduction and management plan is available for public review and comment until Nov. 15.
