Youth Elk Education Program

This is an educational opportunity for non-profit youth groups. The program includes education on elk habitat, and behavior. It also offers youth groups a chance to explore the Preserve on foot while hunting for antlers. The antlers gathered will be used to support this program and the management of the Preserve.

Learning about the elk and exploring the Preserve is an experience not to miss. We are expecting a great time exploring elk habitat on the Preserve.
