This is important for North Campus Users:

This is a reminder that moose living near the University of Alaska Fairbanks may pass through campus. Members of the campus community should use common sense if they come in contact with wildlife and be aware that wildlife could be present, especially in the wooded areas of campus.
Do not attempt to feed wild animals or try to approach them.
The University Police Department has had a dramatic increase in the number of nuisance moose calls on the Fairbanks campus this year and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is reporting an increase in the Fairbanks area moose population.
Moose can be easily frightened and have been known to charge without notice. They can be especially dangerous when trying to protect offspring.
If you see a moose on campus, please call the UAF Police Department at 474-7721.
