Talk Series Presentation: Moose Breeding Behavior at Rub Trees Along the South Fork

Join us in person or online (meeting link to be posted prior to presentation) to learn more about Scot Erickson’s research on moose behavior along the South Fork of the Snake River. Idaho’s rivers and streams are stunning places for outdoor adventure, but they’re also vital habitats and corridors for wildlife. Moose, a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Idaho, rely on these riparian areas throughout their lives. While moose breeding behaviors are well documented in northern areas such as Alaska and Canada, research about moose behavior is underrepresented at the southern extent of their range, which have unique habitat differences and pressures. Presenter Scot Erickson has studied moose scent marking behavior along the South Fork of the Snake River and the results of his research can aid biologists and land-managers in the Intermountain West to make decisions that support both recreation and conservation in a changing world.
