The Voyageurs Wolf Project & The Wolves of Minnesota  – Presented by Maeve Rogers, Outreach and Education Specialist for Voyageurs Wolf Project

Event will take place at the Lois King Education Center at the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center Visitors to the greater Sax-Zim Bog ecosystem have the high hope to see some of the special birds and mammals that call the region home during the winter season and beyond. While birds get a lot of attention, mammals have slowly, but surely, climbed to the tops of visitors lists. Some visitors are lucky enough to have encounters with the wolves that live in our area! To our north, in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem, is one of the most well studied groups of wolves in North America. We are excited to welcome Maeve Rogers to share with us about the Voyageurs Wolf Project and give some great information on their research and improve our understanding of wolves in Minnesota.

Maeve is a wolf researcher who has had experience working with wolves in both Yellowstone and Voyageurs National Park. For the past three years, Maeve has been working as a Wolf Predation and Research Technician in northern Minnesota. Her job entails trapping and GPS-collaring wolves in order to gain valuable locational data that aids the project in studying wolf ecology. The project’s main focus is to better understand the summer ecology of wolves in boreal ecosystems by looking at predation and reproductive behaviors. Recently, Maeve has taken on a new position as Outreach and Education Specialist with the Voyageurs Wolf Project. Beyond her scientific endeavors, Maeve is a mom and children’s book author who is deeply committed to sharing her knowledge and
