Have you seen the elk on the Eagle River Preserve this year?

Elk wintering in the Eagle River Preserve, conserved by EVLT in 2005.
Observing wildlife has a calming effect. As I cross country skied on the Homestead Open Space last month, I noticed finches darting from tree to tree and I felt a great calmness. Did you notice the elk on the Eagle River Preserve last month (pictured)? I stopped by to view the elk and it was the highlight of my week.

Your support helps us conserve these great places for all future generations. Thank you!
