Elk were brought back to one county on purpose
Elk were reintroduced to Buchanan County on reclaimed mine land, which is why the herd's range is so precisely bounded.
Returns
The ones that came back
Eagle, peregrine, elk — and what each recovery cost.
The recovery followed a ban on a chemical rather than any change in the birds.

Delisted in 2007 after a chemical was banned
Bald eagle recovery followed the DDT ban and was formally recognised with delisting in 2007; the Bay now holds one of the densest populations.
The 1930s camps built most of what visitors use
Civilian Conservation Corps camps built the trails, shelters and roads that still carry the public through these places.
