About the event

Both islands were naturally recolonized by  wolves via ice bridges in winter 2014.  Prior to wolf recolonization, these islands were home to most of the remaining caribou in the Lake Superior Coastal Range.  Our research objectives include assessing the impact of wolves on caribou and beaver in these relatively simple island ecosystem.
