Elk Bugle Corps gets a boost
A $3,500 grant from the Haywood County Tourism Development Authority will help enrich the elk viewing experience in the Cataloochee area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The money, awarded to Friends of the Smokies, will fund training, uniforms and materials for the volunteer Elk Bugle Corps and Bike Patrol.
The Elk Bugle Corps makes more than 45,000 contacts annually. The uniforms will allow visitors to more easily identify where to go for elk-related information, while volunteer training will allow Corps members to help with traffic control and visitor safety during high visitation periods.
To give to Elk Bugle Corps, visit www.friendsofthesmokies.org/donate.
