Beavers At Jennings
If you visit Jennings Environmental Education Center in Slippery Rock this month, you just might be lucky enough to spot a beaver or two! The resident beavers have been very “busy” living up to their name descriptor, and it’s very easy to see fun beaver evidence even if you don’t see any of the beavers themselves.
Beavers moved into a small valley near a common hiking trail at Jennings around 15 years ago and created the upstream wetland area that has remained since then. This productive wetland habitat has been very beneficial to many other mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds.
Aultmans Watershed
AWARE is organizing a trash pickup at Reeds Run Restoration Area on Saturday, April 29th from 10 AM to 2 PM. All help will be greatly appreciated!
The previous trash pickups held last year at Reeds Run were a great success, with close to half of the site’s trash removed and almost all of the tires picked up as well. Trash has likely been accumulating at this old mine site for the last 40 years.
