Tuesday Group -- Moosewatch: Putting the MOOSE in the Isle Royale Wolf-Moose Research Project

The Isle Royale Wolf-Moose Research Project is the longest running predator-prey study in the world, located on the largest island in Lake Superior. Local Ely resident LynnAnne Vesper has been involved with the study as a group leader for Moosewatch, the “boots on the ground” portion of the study which contributes data on moose mortality factors. During this presentation, you can learn the answers to the following questions: What makes Isle Royale special and therefore chosen as the site of the study? What happens to the ecosystem in a high concentration of moose? What did we learn about beavers after the 2019 reintroduction of wolves? What does a moose metatarsus tell us about the health of the ecosystem? What do you do during a Moosewatch Expedition? How can I or someone I know get involved? LynnAnne Vesper has been a part of the Ely community for over 25 years. Her work has included guiding canoe and dogsledding trips for most of that time. A few years ago, she joined the Isle Royale project as a team leader for Moosewatch, the branch of the study which involves citizen scientists in field research trips.
