Description
The busy beavers of Canoe Meadows have left behind clues about where they've been working. Practice your nature sleuthing skills as you venture along the trails with your family in search of places where the beavers have chopped down trees, maintained their dams, added to their lodges, and more. As the sun sets, we might even see a beaver if conditions are right!
Pre-registration is required to manage the size of the group. This program is part of the 10x10 Upstreet Winter Arts Festival in Pittsfield. For more information about other events, visit lovepittsfield.com.
This program is designed for families with children, so each registration requires at least one adult and one child. We will cover up to 1 mile of unsurfaced trails containing a mix of flat ground and gradual slopes. The trail surface may contain exposed tree roots or rocks. Recent weather could make the trail muddy, wet, or slippery.
