Life History of Moose in New York

Moose

On Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 7:00 p.m., researcher David Kramer will present “The Life History of the Moose in New York State” at Crandall Public Library in downtown Glens Falls.

The event is co-sponsored by SAAS and the Glens Falls-Saratoga Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club.

Moose were extirpated from the Adirondacks in the late 1800s and early 1900s due to habitat destruction and overhunting. But in the 1980s, moose sightings in the Adirondacks began to trickle in. Over the past few decades, moose have established a permanent population in the New York mountains. In 2015, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) began actively monitoring it.

In the program, attendees will learn about the life history and ecology of our largest state mammal and the new research initiative NYSDEC is conducting.

David Kramer received wildlife degrees from Delaware Valley University (BS) in 2009 and from Texas Tech University (MS) in 2012. Since 2016, Kramer has been a Research Scientist with the SUNY-ESF Roosevelt Wildlife Station and provides consultation and research support for moose, deer, bear, turkey, and furbearers for NYSDEC.
