BRISTOL — The Newfound Lake Region Association invites the community to join watershed steward Karen Candia for a guided hike along the Goose Pond Trail at 10 a.m on Thursday, Oct. 21. Participants will enjoy a 1.8 mile hike while learning more about beavers, a keystone species critical to the health of wetland ecosystems. Beavers and their dams prove beneficial to surrounding wildlife, however they also present challenges for humans in the area, and participants will learn more about the human-beaver conflict and how to coexist with beaver populations. Perhaps signs of beaver activity will be found as well.
This program is open to all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Goose Pond Trail is a moderate hike, and participants should bring plenty of water and appropriate attire, including waterproof shoes. Bug spray, sunscreen, and snacks are encouraged. To register, visit NewfoundLake.org/events.
