This week’s blog post is written by Julia, a Bucktails and Bass alumni. She gives us some great information about the quaking aspen, and took her excellent accompanying photo while in Carson National Forest in New Mexico this past summer.
This week, Eli, a Brookies and Ursids alumni, shares with us more of his “Naturalist’s Notes.” He writes about our national bird, and their recovery after a significant population crash. His original photos of this majestic bird are truly stunning!
