Leadership & Governance
Board of Directors & Scientific Advisory Board
Hidden Moose of Wisconsin is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and conservation of moose in Wisconsin through field-based research, long-term data collection, and public education.
We document moose occurrence, monitor population patterns, and share findings that support wildlife science and conservation decision-making.
The organization operates through two complementary bodies:
-
A Board of Directors responsible for governance and oversight
-
A Scientific Advisory Board providing independent scientific and technical expertise
Together, they ensure the work is both organizationally accountable and scientifically grounded.
