Wolf hazing, electric fencing: Isle Royale issues new rules to reduce visitors’ contact with wolves
From MLive:
ISLE ROYALE, MI – The National Park Service has announced new food storage guidelines for Isle Royale’s visitors and overnight campers to try to solve an issue with the island’s wolves accessing human food and garbage.
This activity is happening around the island’s Rock Harbor, where the visitor center is located, and in campgrounds on the east end of the island, park staff said Saturday. The new guidelines – meant to ensure safety for people as well as wildlife – come about a month after rangers cautioned the public that more frequent wolf sightings were taking place in those areas.
