  • Moose-Wolf-Vegetation Management Plan/EIS National Park Service Isle Royale National Park | Michigan U.S
    Moose-Wolf-Vegetation Management Plan/EIS National Park Service Isle Royale National Park | Michigan U.S. Department of the Interior Summer 2015 You’re invited! Dear Friend of Isle Royale, Thank you for your continued interest in the moose and wolf populations at Isle Royale National Park (Isle Royale). This predator-prey relationship has been studied for decades, has garnered national and even international attention, and is of great interest to Native American bands of the area, park visitors, researchers, and many other organizations and community groups. The story of wolves on Isle Royale is compelling and ever changing. Their population has fluctuated over the past 65 plus years since they were first documented on the island, but has been in steep decline for the past five years. This past winter was no exception. Researchers from Michigan Technological University found three wolves on the island and documented one mortality. In addition, an ice bridge formed again this past winter for the second year in a row, and a pair of wolves crossed the ice bridge from their home range on the Grand Portage Indian Reservation and traveled about 14 miles to Isle Royale. The pair explored the island, but did not stay, returning to the mainland five days later. Furthermore, five out of the nine wolves present in 2014 are unaccounted Chickenbone Lake (Photo: D. Rosenbach) for. They may have survived, perished, or left the island during the 2015 ice bridge events. The moose population on the island has also fluctuated over time. Over the past few years the population has increased greatly for numerous reasons, including the fact that wolf predation rates have been low.

  • Island Complications: Should We Retain Wolves on Isle Royale? Two
    Two More Views on the Future of Wolves at Isle Royale National Park Island Complications: Should We Retain Wolves on Isle Royale? Tim Cochrane The “natural” assumption Most people who are familiar at all with Isle Royale assume that the national park’s famous populations of wolves and moose are “natural” residents of the archipelago. Thus, the im- pending decision of what to do if wolves became extirpated on Isle Royale seems to be an easy managerial one: replacement wolves should be brought in. But a historical view of major mammals on Isle Royale in the last hundred years reveals a much more complicated situation. The first major published study on the wolves and moose of Isle Royale, L. David Mech’s The Wolves of Isle Royale, makes this very point. In a summary table of the “History of Isle Royale Mammals,” Mech makes an astounding observation: namely, that all the large mammals on Isle Royale have changed in the 20th century. Coyotes and lynx have gone and wolves appeared. Woodland caribou were extirpated and moose arrived and have become the dominant herbivore. Red fox arrived circa 1925. Otter were missing for much of the 20th century but now are quite common.1 And a little earlier, in the late 1800s, beaver were nearly extirpated.2 This radical composition turnover may be an effect of island biogeography. One primary indication of island biogeography is that the island(s) being studied have only a subset of the animals and plants found on the nearest mainland. Island biogeography also routinely maps species turnover on islands, as species “wink out” and different ones “wink in.”3 But also quite often a species winks out and then recolonizes on its own, as happened with otter and beaver at Isle Royale.

Barnard Superintendent, Isle Royale National Park August 17, 1998 William W. Schenk Director, Midwest Region Printed on recyled paper FINAL GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK KEWEENAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN The five alternatives that were developed in the course of preparing this General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement were based on park purpose, significance, and emphasis statements, which in turn were based on the park's legislation and legislative history, other special designations, and NPS policies. The plan is intended to provide a foundation for park management and use and to serve as a guide for park programs and for priority setting over at least the next 1 5-20 years. Alternative A is the no-action, or status quo, alternative and provides a baseline for comparison of the other four alternatives. The proposed action has been revised from the proposal in the Draft General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement. It is intended to meet the diverse expectations and needs of Isle Royale visitors while emphasizing the natural quiet that is fundamental to wilderness experiences. All park areas would be available to all visitors as long as users participate in ways that are consistent with the access, facilities, and opportunities provided. Alternative B would expand facilities and services at the ends of the island and create a more primitive experience toward the center.
