About the event
Have you ever wondered how an animal as large as a moose can live in Wisconsin and remain so rarely seen? How do we come to understand a species that moves quietly through vast forests, often leaving only traces behind?
Presented by Amanda Griggs, researcher and founder of Hidden Moose of Wisconsin.
For ten years, Griggs has been following these quiet giants across northern Wisconsin. What began with a single roadside encounter grew into a long-term research effort involving trail cameras, field observations, and hundreds of documented sightings collected from across the state. Together, these pieces help build a clearer understanding of where moose are found, how they behave, and the subtle clues they leave behind.
In this presentation, we will explore photos, videos, antlers, and other field evidence while examining what it takes to study elusive wildlife. We will also look at the methods used to determine moose distribution…
