Our first 'pre-season' shuttle each year is kind of like spotting our first robin of the season - it means spring must be on its way.
That day was today - Glenmore to Police. :-)

How Wolves Change Rivers
How Wolves Change Rivers
When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone
National Park in the United States after being absent nearly 70 years,
the most remarkable "trophic cascade" occurred. What is a trophic
cascade and how exactly do wolves change rivers? George Monbiot explains
in this movie remix.
