Busy Beavers Are at it Again
Apr 24, 2024
Those busy beavers are at it again! Beavers are known to alter the land and water around them. These changes have a cascading effect on all parts of our natural world.
As a neighbor of Deschutes Land Trust's Willow Springs Preserve, we want to keep you up-to-date on activities at the Preserve. That's why we've created this Willow Springs Preserve news hub with links to our Neighbor Newsletters and other updates from the Preserve. We also encourage you to join us for hikes at the Preserve, volunteer at the Preserve, or contact us if you have any questions. Thank you!
