On a crisp Sunday morning, several dozen people gathered at Enlow Fork Game Lands to observe the diverse bird and flower population. This event is hosted each year by the Wheeling Creek Watershed Association providing local conservation groups to share with community members what the local issues are to protect our environment. The late spring did not provide many wildflowers to view but there many birds active in the early morning. We hope to see you all there for next spring.
