Colorado’s Eagle and Roaring Fork valleys have suffered  a substantial decline in the elk population in recent decades. Simultaneously, human development and activity in the area have skyrocketed. Paul Millhouser set out to find science-based proof of the connection suspected by experts and laypeople alike. The story turned out to be a little more complicated—and alarming—than expected.

Join us for this virtual presentation and Q&A on Crowdcast, presented by Bud Werner Memorial Library, Keep Routt Wild and Rocky Mountain Wild.
