Living Land Series: Moose in the Adk Park

Registration required: Lake George Land Conservancy

Researcher David Kramer will present “The Life History of the Moose in New York State” at the Lake George Land Conservancy building in Bolton Landing.

Moose were extirpated from the Adirondacks in the late 1800s and early 1900s due to habitat destruction and overhunting. But in the 1980s, moose sightings in the Adirondacks began to trickle in. Over the past few decades, moose have established a permanent population in the New York mountains. In 2015, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) began actively monitoring it.

In the program, attendees will learn about the life history and ecology of our largest state mammal and the new research initiative NYSDEC is conducting.
