In Progress:

Currently applying for grants to replant vegetation in burned out riparian areas.

"Rakes and Shovels" Program:

Volunteer-intensive programs in coordination with local, state and provincial partners to have volunteer work days to improve wildlife habitat. The group will be trained ahead of time or "on the job". Snacks will be provided. Projects will include planting bitterbrush and willows, improving shrub component, repairing fences, cleaning up over-browsed riparian areas and other projects deemed necessary for the advancement of good habitat. These projects will also benefit other species. Main costs will be Executive Directors and Board Members time coordinating the effort and getting the word out to volunteers via e-mail, fax and or/ phone.

Grants for Habitat Improvement and Restoration:

The North American Moose Foundation grant committee will conduct quarterly reviews to consider grant requests to enhance or conserve Moose habitat.

Moose off the Highways:

Promote special projects to help keep moose off of highways and major thoroughfares, as it can be a real danger to animals and drivers. The Board of Director's Committee should meet quarterly to consider these grant applications. Volunteer time will also be given for work projects. These projects will include: cutting back trees, brush, shrubs, willows and bushes which hide the animal from the vehicle driver.

North American Moose Conference and Workshop:

This annual workshop offers a wealth of information about moose and their shared habitat. It is also a great place to meet biologists that are on the cutting edge of new information that benefits moose, moose habitat and other wildlife. This should be an event that the North American Moose Foundation would like to attend yearly, as the budget allows.

Conservation Partners:

Partner with other conservation groups to enhance shared habitat and resources.
