INDRELAND AUDUBON WETLAND PRESERVE
UPDATE: OCTOBER 2024
THE WETLAND PRESERVATION PROJECT (WPP) was initiated to accomplish Sacajawea Audubon Society’s mission to protect and restore increasingly rare wetland and riparian habitats in our region, and to provide educational opportunities and enjoyment for generations to come. The IAWP is the first of our wetland protection projects.
The end-of-season Busy Beaver Fall Rendezvous will be on October 19th from 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm at the IAWP.
Experienced and new Busy Beavers alike are welcomed to the last big work party of the 2024 field season. We will get the wetland ready for winter and then adjourn to the Kingfisher Pavilion for a volunteer appreciation party. Link to sign up:
Occasional wetland volunteer work as well as Busy Beaver training and workshops will still be happening through the winter season!

Gather to watch the crows, ravens, and magpies come in to roost in the trees at the wetland, one of their favored roosting spots in the fall, and watch for the beavers to become active before dusk.
Bring your own folding chair, binoculars, and beverage of choice or a thermos for hot cocoa.
