How many moose are there in New York State? If the population is still growing, how large might it get? How detrimental are parasites like brain worm and winter tick to moose, and what can we do about them? What is the most efficient method for tracking the status of the moose herd over the long-term?
These questions set the context for a collaborative study designed to inform the first-ever moose management plan for New York state. This site provides a forum for scientists, wildlife managers, and the public to keep in touch as this research unfolds.
