Wildlife Matters

We are blessed with incredible riches in wildlife and scenery. But our recent stewardship of those riches has fallen short. There was a lot more respect for our treasured natural resources in decades past. Occasionally, local citizens groups have stepped up where government has failed. A few years back, moose road kills on then Village road were taking a horrendous toll. Then the Highway 390 folks demanded action. Speed limits were reduced and moose

cutouts were placed along the roadway to increase awareness. It worked. Ungulate road kill dropped dramatically.
