Moose Encounter

Our new seasonal staff member Jeff Barney had a memorable close encounter at Silver Creek yesterday.

Moose have become a common sight on the preserve. Many visitors at first express surprise, because the surrounding area is so arid. But the moose thrive in the healthy habitat along the spring creek.

Be alert and you may be rewarded with your own sightings. Spring is a great time to be at Silver Creek, with lots of wildlife and very few visitors. Have fun.
