Elk viewing workshop scheduled for Flagstaff News Media Aug 26, 2008 Would you like to experience the sound of a bull elk bugling or see a cow elk keeping a watchful eye on her calf? The Arizona Game and Fish Department and Mormon Lake Lodge invite you to attend an elk viewing workshop on Sept. 6. The workshop includes a presentation, a field trip to watch elk in their natural habitat, and a free BBQ sponsored by Mormon Lake Lodge. Mormon Lake is unique as it is only one of two natural lakes found in Arizona. During the early fall, hundreds of elk can be observed at the site and along Lake Mary Road. “This workshop will be fun for the whole family and we encourage people of all ages to come enjoy the state’s wildlife treasures,” says Arizona Game and Fish Department Public Information Officer Shelly Shepherd. “We are excited to co-host the event with Mormon Lake Lodge and their education staff, and to be able to offer participants a BBQ following the field trip. It’ll be a great way to end the day.” The workshop will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6 with a presentation in the Kachina Room at Mormon Lake Lodge. A field trip will follow the presentation at a location to be determined that day based on where the elk are seen. The free BBQ will begin around 6 p.m. after participants return from the field trip. It will be held outside of the Kachina room, behind the restaurant and store. Spotting scopes will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring binoculars, water, snacks, and to wear appropriate clothing. To register for the workshop, contact the Flagstaff Game and Fish Office at (928) 774-5045 by Sept. 2. For more information about the BBQ dinner or the lodge, call (928) 354-2227. |
