Feed the Elk, Then Feed the Bike Riders (Jewell)

Come tour the Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area, where we will deliver the daily winter hay feeding to a herd of elk at the refuge. The elk are fed hay during the winter months to help keep them off adjacent farms where they damage fences and crops when natural feed becomes scarce.
We will ride the hay wagon to deliver the feed and hear about the elk management program from a refuge staff biologist.
After the tour we will leave our cars at a nearby county park and ride to Astoria for lunch on the Riverwalk. This is a free event.
