The Beaver Believers is an award-winning feature documentary sharing the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists working to restore the North American beaver to the watersheds of the American West. As a keystone species, beaver enrich their ecosystems, creating the biodiversity, complexity, and resiliency our watersheds need to absorb the impacts of climate change. A favorite on the 2019 Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, winner of the Green Spark Award at the American Conservation Film Festival, this film will inspire you to think differently about climate change.
Wander Tin Mountain's Albany property on a guided tour and see what winter has in store! Interesting animal tracks, our resident birds, beautiful conifers, Chase Pond and unexpected sites await us. The terrain is variable, and so is the weather, so dress for the day and (depending on the snow conditions) wear snowshoes or boot traction devices. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
We have all snowshoe sizes available. They are free for members to borrow and $15pp for non-members (so consider becoming a member).

Alaska is a land of outstanding natural scenery and opportunities to see some of the most iconic wildlife in the world. Alaska has eight amazing national parks including the largest in size, one with the tallest mountain, two with incredible glaciers, two in the Arctic, and two where brown bears are abundant. This illustrated presentation will visit all eight parks and feature the highlights of each.
The speaker is David Govatski who has visited all eight of these parks and is a ship naturalist in the summer in Alaska.
Have you ever wondered what animals move through your yard when you’re not looking? Or found tracks and wondered who made them? This program will cover the basics of identifying and understanding winter tracks and the yearly opportunity snow provides to learn more about our animal neighbors. All tracking levels welcome – no experience needed!
