March 27, 2024

A bobcat crossing a beaver dam on the edge of a pond ringed with lush greenery. Overlaid is a green semicircle with the Give Back to the Land Day logo with the text "Tuesday, April 16, 2024. Bobcat on land conserved by HLT."

One otter left a half-mile-long mark on the Breckenridge Sanctuary. Follow along with our stewardship team as they track an otter slide.
