   As the project grew in size and more moose were sponsored, Maggie Anderson, manager of the Agassiz NWR, and the DNR's Red Lake Wildlife Area manager Gretchen Mehmel began to explore the possibility of establishing a home page to allow a direct and interactive method of following the moose research project.
   ...
   "People care about this monarch of the north country," says Anderson, "and they want it to remain a part of the natural landscape." Since 1995 over 88 partners have contributed to the research and Adopt-A-Moose programs, giving over $50,000 for the purchase of moose collars and helicopter capture of animals. Twenty volunteers have contributed 18,000 hours tracking moose, performing necropsies, and entering data. Private companies have loaned radio receivers, snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles. And private landowners have been very helpful - many moose in the study were captured and collared on private land, so landowner cooperation was very important.
   
   "The partnership aspect of this project has been incredible," Anderson adds.
   ...
   "Early on many people assumed moose numbers were declining due to increased predation," notes Agassiz NWR manager Anderson.

   "The partnership aspect of this project has been incredible," Anderson adds. "And now, because everyone in the surrounding communities knows about the project, everyone is on the lookout for moose with collars. We even had a group of kids on the school bus ride home spot one of our research animals. We'd been looking for that particular cow for several days but couldn't pick up her signal. The cow had moved nearly 28 miles form where she had last been recorded. Without the kids reporting the animal, it could have taken days to locate her."

   "Early on many people assumed moose numbers were declining due to increased predation," notes Agassiz NWR manager Anderson. "But the mortality analysis just doesn't support that."
