Walk: Beavers at Nightfall
May 4, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Led by Laura Beltran
(rain date Sun. 5/5)
Meet at Cooke Ave. entrance
Early evening is the ideal time to observe beaver activity. We’ll meet at the Cooke Ave. entrance (former Moose Lodge parking lot) and take a walk along Boggy Meadow Rd., with a short off-trail segment, to a place where beavers have recently built a pair of dams and established an active lodge. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the dynamic process of how a woodland is transformed into a wetland once beavers take up residence.
Suitable for adults and families. Binoculars and shoes for possibly wet, muddy conditions are recommended.
Laura Tate Beltran is a teacher/naturalist at Arcadia Sanctuary in Easthampton.
