What’s Up with Mill Pond at Tucker & French Family Forest?

Last week the incredible amount of rainfall that came down this season finally proved to be too much for the beaver dam at Mill Pond at Tucker & French Family Forest. The torrent breached the dam and drained the pond, transforming it from a body of water into more of a bog.

So what will happen next? We’ll let nature take its course! Like everyone else, we will be watching with curiosity to see if (or when) the beavers return to take on a new construction project to re-establish the dam.

If you happen to be on the trail and you do see the dam beginning to take shape again, please feel free to take a photo and send it our way!
