Density of moose - Gros Morne

Density of moose - Gros Morne Introduced Moose, lacking natural predators in Gros Morne, are causing widespread damage in park forests. Park-wide Moose density will be monitored using aerial surveys and estimated using the Gasaway (1986) stratified random block method. Bull, cow, calf and unknown Moose are counted in randomly-selected blocks expected to have extremely high, high and low moose density. Survey occurs in late February or March, with sufficient snow cover to see tracks. 2018-06-13 Parks Canada darroch.whitaker@pc.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentMooseintroduced herbivoreoverbrowsingAerial SurveyNewfoundland Density of moose - Gros Morne - DataCSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/EZhZ9ZAPhUZEtgbd7KjywHwBvOV-LqEO1x4ctJG36mrXpw?e=VPXwTk Density of moose - Gros Morne - Data dictionary CSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/ERJCxlrsttRHpy8sPKOrJ18BVwdctpLLYUg2Bbv11zeqAA?e=sNdf5a
