Moose are an icon of the Wasatch Back—they’re one of the most dangerous animals in North America. Every year, more people are injured by moose than by bears in many regions. Why? Because moose are huge, fast, and very protective of their space, especially mothers with calves and during fall rut. These large ungulates are seen often all across our community and occasionally on the Swaner Preserve. This event will explore the natural history of moose as well as ways to stay safe in moose country. This event is designed for adults. This talk will take place on Zoom. Once registered, you will receive instructions for how to access the webinar in your confirmation email. We will also be recording this program and will share it with registrants afterward. This event is part of Swaner's Walks, Talks, & Workshops program.
