A slide presentation and introduction of beaver natural history, as well as the ongoing recovery of the beaver pond will be offered. Following the indoor presentation, naturalist Pat Carney will lead a short wander to the pond in hopes of observing the resident beavers reinforcing their lodge and dams or stocking their larder for the coming winter. Osprey, herons, mink, migrating waterfowl, and other interesting pond life may also be observed. A limited number of binoculars will be available for use.
