National Parks Traveler Episode 9: Isle Royale's Wolves And Caving In The National Parks

Dr. Rolf Peterson discusses wolves at Isle Royale National Park
Dr. Rolf Peterson, a long-time wolf biologist at Michigan Tech University, discusses Isle Royale National Park's wolf recovery program in this week's episode, while host Kurt Repanshek reviews a book on butterflies you might encounter in national parks and another on marine life photography, and ends the program with a look at the many national parks with caves you can explore.

It Is The (Almost) Perfect Campground

Seventy-five degrees at mid-day, no noticeable humidity, Northern flickers calling in the background in their seasonal courting ritual. And five deer, working on losing their winter coats, moseying past my campsite while I worked on this story. Add the breathtaking setting of the Black Hills, the vacant campsites surrounding me, and it’s hard not to argue that the Elk Mountain Campground at Wind Caves National Park is perfect.

Reduction In Wind Cave National Park's Bison Herd Benefits Other Herds

Wind Cave National Park recently conducted a capture and processing operation to reduce the size of the park’s bison herd by 131 animals. Partnering with wildlife managers in four states, these bison will be sent to establish conservation herds or augment existing herds managed by The Nature Conservancy, Arizona Game and Fish Department, and the Kalispel Tribe.
