We’re in the final 29 days to get Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA) across the finish line. This is our best opportunity to get it passed. We can capitalize on the success we’ve had so far to get this language into a legislative package, which will require contacting both the US House and Senate. Phone calls and emails over the next 2 weeks will be the most critical. If you’ve been waiting for the best time to get involved, it’s now.

I visited last week and enjoyed my time there. Question: Near the entrance and next to the fence, I saw a large mammal that looked like a prairie dog; however, it was alone and seemed to be searching for an exit. It had brown fur, a rounded head with round ears and ran along on all fours. What was I seeing? After a short while, it disappeared in the shade of a bush and I didn't see it after. . .my husband thought it could be a woodchuck.
