This agreement will provide a partnership between Isle Royale NP and Isle Royale Institute to accomplish three important pieces of the wolf-moose study anniversary package of educational activities: 1) developing and presenting school programs for regional schools grades 2-4 and for local home school students at that level,  2) providing travel and tuition assistance for teachers from Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to attend teacher workshops on Isle Royale in the summer of 2008; and 3) upgrading traveling trunks focused on the wolf-moose research for the fall 2008 and beyond.
