Moose forum to be held in Ishpeming

ISHPEMING, MI--   The Department of Natural Resources is hosting a forum on moose in Ishpeming next week.

Moose expert Vince Crichton of Manitoba will talk about moose populations and threats the U.P. herd faces, like chronic wasting disease. DNR wildlife research biologist Dean Beyer will discuss the status of the Upper Peninsula moose herd.

The forum will be held Thursday, October 19 at 6 p.m. at the River Rocks Lanes and Banquet Center. It’s the fifth of the DNR’s Wildlife through Forestry series. The forums link wildlife topics to the numerous ways habitat may be developed and enhanced for wildlife on private lands.
