Minnesota\, with approximately 2200 wolves\, is home to the largest and only continuous population of wolves in the lower 48 states. It is a center for wolf research. Countries around the world\, as well as other states\, look to Minnesota as an example of how wolves and humans can co-exist in relative harmony. Students will work on two wolf projects during the course: one to determine pack numbers\, territories\, and behavior through tracking surveys near Ely\, MN. The second\, to determine wolf pack size\, territory\, and the impacts of prey species on the historic Jonvick Deer Yard along the North Shore of Lake Superior (Lutsen\, MN). We will also collect data on Canada lynx in the area in collaboration with the Superior National Forest. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Resources: Download Course FlyerOnline Registration Scholarship FormParticipant Packet Facebook GroupHear what past students have said: J-Term Testimonials\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Students are required to have a COVID-19 vaccination to attend this course.  Other topics covered in lecture and fieldwork include: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Wolf ecology and observation of captive wolvesLynx ecology and observation of captive lynx and bobcatsDeer ecologyCoyote & Fox ecologyBobcat & Cougar ecologyBear Ecology\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n TrackingResearch techniquesAerial radio telemetryHabitat analysisWinter ecologyWinter first aid and safetyCross-country skiingSnowshoeing\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This course includes visits to the Wildlife Science Center (one of the country’s oldest wolf facilities dedicated to the training\, research\, education\, and conservation surrounding this keystone predator)\, the North American Bear Center\, the International Wolf Center\, Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness\, and Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Course Fee: $1\,995Scholarships are available Please register online using the link below.
