Dwarf
Chronicles:
the Tale of the Tule Elk
May 23, 2012
The
next Lake Group general membership meeting will be
held at the East Lake Grange (on Hwy 20 in Clearlake
Oaks). Photographer and author Dennis Blum will give
a presentation on the history and biology of the tule
elk, a magnificent species found only in California
that was "to California's prairies, what the
bison was to the prairies of the Midwest, or the Wildebeest
to Africa's Serengeti." Blum is the author of "Dwarf
Chronicles: Saving California's Tule Elk." As always
the public is cordially invited to this free meeting.
