New DNR survey shows stable wolf population in Michigan’s U.P., survey planned for L.P.
From Midland Daily News:
A new survey from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources estimated that the state’s wolf population is the highest it has been since the start of its semiannual surveys in 2012.
The DNR shared the 2024 winter wolf population survey results Thursday, explaining it found a minimum of 762 wolves in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This year’s estimate showed an increase of 131 animals compared to the 2022 estimate of 631; however, the results demonstrate a continued trend of statistical stability in Michigan’s wolf population, according to a press release.
