Bear-Paw remains hard at work protecting places like this.

Volunteers Aaron Baker, Phil Auger, & Walt Roy helped with the expansion of the parking area at the Burbank Woods Preserve, cutting and clearing out a small patch of dead & dying trees. A small offshoot trail was also created, allowing visitors to walk down to the edge of the nearby wetland.

Stroll for the Senses

Preparation for the Stroll for the Senses, Bear-Paw's 2021 Major Fundraiser event, took weeks. There were multiple work days during that time dedicated to ensuring that Al Jaeger's stunning property would look its best for the big day before the actual setup began. The following people did an incredible job in helping to prepared for the event:
Al Jaeger
Aaron Baker
Bonnie Beaubien
​Bruce Adami & Bob Cote

Dana & Scott Hochgraf
Grace Mattern & David Corsin
Harmony Anderson
Hal & Irene Kreider
​​Jeff Kantorowski

 George Lang of Green Caskets lent an all-natural, hand built casket that was the centerpiece of the event. Others, including Dana Zulager, Kathy McDonald, Fred Borman, Harmony Anderson, Dana & Scott Hochgraf, Dennis Garnham, and Sam Demeritt, lent their time and their own decorations to the cause, and made it a huge success.​

Haunted Hunt

After most town-sponsored Halloween events in our area were cancelled for 2020, Bear-Paw decided to host our own family-friend event that would allow people to get outside, have fun, and learn a bit more about the plants and animals associated with the season. The Haunted Hunt was held over the Halloween weekend on the North River Preserve.

Nature Groupie Interns at Work!

​Nature Groupie interns Emily (left) and Owen (right) spent a week working with Bear-Paw staff and volunteers in August 2020.
​
In that time, they helped re-open the old trail leading from Parker Mountain to Evans Mountain, where there are several beautiful views of Bow Lake and the surrounding area.

They also helped repair existing trails that had been damaged by erosion, removed invasive bittersweet from the North River Preserve field, and monitored a new conservation easement.

Volunteers Walt Roy, Fred Borman, and Phil Auger helped clear out the ridge trail between the old Evans Mountain road and the existing Parker Mountain trail. Their knowledge and chainsaws were invaluable.

The Student Conservation Association

A five-person Student Conservation Association crew joined Bear-Paw staff Rue Teel and volunteer Phil Auger for a rainy morning of clearing and blazing the boundary lines of a privately owned conservation easement in early March 2020.

Each summer, new crews help conservation organizations with small projects like this one as training in preparation for a summer of field work.
