    About This Project

    Moose are not recognized as a resident species in Wisconsin, likely due to insufficient data. Using trail cameras and field observations, I aim to test the hypothesis that Wisconsin hosts a self-sustaining moose population, with recurring adults, breeding, and calf recruitment. Findings shared with the Wisconsin DNR, the National Heritage Inventory, and other agencies will support efforts for formal recognition and conservation, highlighting the species' ecological role and habitat needs.
