November 2010 - Removal of Enclosure at Burwash
November 2010 - Volunteers got together on November 27th to remove an elk enclosure that is no longer being used at the Burwash site. The metal fencing was removed and successfully salvaged. Tarps and plastic fencing was also removed and the site cleaned up to return it to its natural state.
The steel fencing will be re-used by the "Wild at Heart" organization. Their plans are to build an enclosure to contain large animals such as Moose and Deer that are being nursed back to health to be then released back into the wild.
