The NBC news program of 5/10/2006 gave national exposure to the Wapiti issue in Estes Park and RMNP. You can read about it here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12724708/
On the same topic, there will be a public meeting to discuss the options that the Park has to solve the Elk crisis. They are calling a series of meeting for public input to determine the eventual plan for eliminating up to 1,000 elk. Don’t get your hopes up, Kyle Patterson, Information Ranger for the Park has been saying for weeks that the determination has been made to shoot the elk.

If you don’t like it – MOVE!

The Estes Park session is Thursday, May 25 at the Holiday Inn, 101 South St. Vrain Ave.
