Opportunity Description: 
Join a Boreal Expedition at Isle Royale! Boreal expeditions are an incredible opportunity for you be a part of the world renowned wolf-moose research project at Isle Royale. Each expedition involves a week-long trek though the boreal forests of Isle Royale. The basic purpose of each expedition team is very simple - to carefully search as much area as possible for moose bones. The expedition will also record other important observations and collect other valuable data. You’ll learn about the natural history of Isle Royale and its wilderness ecosystem. An experienced guide will lead you on the expedition. Once you arrive on the island, your group will be completely on its own and out of contact with other people. You will see Isle Royale in a way that very few other people do, and you'll come away with a new understanding of the natural world and how it works.

These expeditions are strenous with off trail hiking and are suited for experienced backpackers only. There is a charge to participate.
