Love moose? U.P. national park seeks intern to catalog bones from Isle Royale

CALUMET, MI – Moose bones from the ongoing predator-prey research at Isle Royale need to be cataloged and photographed. It’ll be the job of an intern.

Keweenaw National Historical Park and the American Conservation Experience are teaming up to hire an intern to work alongside the park staff at Lake Superior Collections Management Center in Calumet.

The intern will organize, rehouse, photograph and catalog moose bones recovered from Isle Royale National Park as part of research investigations led by Michigan Technological University.

The predator-prey study is one of the longest ongoing scientific studies in the country. Since the 1960s, animal remains (mostly moose and wolf) have been removed from the park and taken to a lab for analysis. The bones are now being turned over to Keweena
