National, award-winning wildlife artist and long time Bosque del Apache volunteer Skeeter Leard will be on hand at the Bosque del Apache NWR visitor center on Saturday, Oct. 15 to sign prints of her poster. The poster was created for the 100th anniversary of the Wichita Mountains Refuge in Oklahoma, and then designated as the poster for National Wildlife Week.
