*** About Pine Martens: Pine martens, belonging to the mustelid family, which includes otters, badgers, and weasels, are elusive creatures predominantly found in northern Europe and parts of North America. Adapted to arboreal life, these animals are skilled climbers, often making their homes in tree hollows. Their diet varies from fruits and nuts to small rodents, reflecting their adaptable nature. In many cultures, pine martens are symbolically linked to luck and the undisturbed old growth of the woodlands they prefer to inhabit, often becoming prominent figures in folklore and mythology due to their secretive and solitary nature.
