Join us for an evening walk in the Beaver Creek Wetlands! We will be exploring this newly accessible site, thanks to the recent completion of boardwalk and trails.   Austin Miller, owner of Birdsong Landscapes and a trustee for the Beaver Creek Wetlands Association, will be our guide as we explore high-quality wetland remnants, a floodplain with towering cottonwoods with an understory of halberd-leaf rose mallow, thickets of gray dogwood and willows, and, if we have time, a mature upland prairie planted in spring of 2011.

The first section we will explore is the wetland loop, about 0.4 miles in length. There is about a 100’ gravel path from the parking area to the beginning of the loop, which is all boardwalk with the exception of about a 30’ gravel trail section.  The wetland loop trail will be good for those with mobility issues (who can negotiate the gravel sections) or those who don’t care to walk as far.  The rest of our tour will be on a combination of boardwalk, gravel trails, and mowed grass trails.

Don’t forget your binoculars & field guides!  Use insect repellent as needed.
