Talk Describes
Island Animals
Opposition to transplanting
moose on the island of Kodiak was
voiced by Will Troyer, agent for
U.S. Fish and Wildlife in Kodiak,
when he spoke before the Rotary
Club at its luncheon meeting May
8th in the 49 room.
Troyer gave as his reasons the
difficulty of keeping the moose
population under costrol, and the
eventual inadequacy of vegetation
for winter feed. Ecologist studies
here on the Island has convinced
him, he said, that the moose would
thrive here, but that it would be
neither good for the moose or the
island’s vegetation in future years.
He also stated it would have been
better to bring moose here rather
than elk, but the Island couldn’t
adequately support both.
Troyer showed slides of scense
taken at random around the island
which illustrated the varied vege
tation of the island and the ani
mals characteristic of each region.
He prefaced his remarks by stat
ing that from an ecologists point
of view Kodiak Island offered
much to study. One variation he
mentioned was the spruce which
is in abundance on one end of the
island and none on the South end.
He said spruce came in only re
cent times, and it is the belief of
ecologists that they moved in since
the last glacial period. The Rus
sians, he said, reported few spruce
trees.
Asked as to what effect the Kat
mai eruption had on wildlife here,
Troyer said it actually had little
effect as “a lot of the wildlife
weren’t here then.”
Reindeer, he said, was introduc
ed in 1921; Sitka deer in 1924; and
rabbit in 1943. All game survived
-
and thrived he said, with Kodiak
island a natural for feed, and en
vironment lending itself to their
survival. The bear, weasel and
land otter were already here and
do very well. Goats, too. were plant
ed but little is known of them as
yet.
Planting of moose on the island,
Troyer said, is a controversial
question. “I base my conviction
which I hold very strongly, that
moose should not be planted on
the island, on ecological studies,”
he said. There must be control of
animal populations, he said, or
there will be an acute shortage of
winter feed. He indicated that this
point had now been reached.
Six members of the senior class
who represented the school during
the year at meetings of the Rotary
Club were guests at the meeting.
These were Mike Sciver, Bill Rich
ardson. Wendell Phillips, Gary
Olson, John Michell, Lonnie Ger
rard.
Present also were John Reader,
Capt. Winson, and Roy Madsen,
with Will Troyer as Club guest.
