Finding a Healthy Balance: Moose Management and Forest Health in Terra Nova National Park

The forests of Terra Nova National Park are at risk due to years of over-browsing by moose, a hyper-abundant species that was introduced to Newfoundland in 1878 and 1904. Without active management of moose populations, the park’s forests will continue to suffer. To restore forest health, Parks Canada has undertaken a moose management program. During this time, volunteer harvesters will help Parks Canada reduce the number of moose in Terra Nova National Park.
