Although one of the least visited national parks, it's one of the most revisited and is one of the closer parks for those of us living in mid-Michigan. What you might not know is that Isle Royale is ground zero for the longest ongoing predator-prey study, which examines the fascinating relationship between the island's wolves and moose. Moosewatch is a citizen science effort to assist researchers with the necessary groundwork to help collect data critical to this ongoing effort.
