The Beaver Creek Nature Area offers a unique setting for recreation and outdoor environmental education.  Wetlands, riparian areas, fields and forests drape the landscape on a 900-acre tract that has been developing for nearly 15 years.

The Alliance for Wetlands and Wildlife, a local watershed organization, has acquired and maintained the area for public fishing, hiking and environmental education.
 

 Bird watching is a favorite activity
at the Beaver Creek Ponds and
wetlands particularly during
spring and fall migration.

Students study water quality by
learning to identify macroinvertebrates
and conduct water testing on the many
ponds located at the center.

 Youth Groups frequently volunteer
at Beaver Creek to construct nest boxes
that attract wood ducks and bluebirds.
