Elk Reintroduction in SWVA
"The eerie, whistling bugle of a bull elk echoes out across the mountainous landscape, and heads lift from the herd of elk grazing in a clearing. Elk were successfully re-introduced to Virginia between 2012 and 2014 and now there’s a thriving herd of more than 250 elk in Southwest Virginia, most of which are located in close proximity to the original restoration site in Buchanan County. The restoration work for elk, including substantial habitat management and efforts to provide wildlife viewing, offers a unique opportunity to enjoy this charismatic and majestic species."
