Nature Stewardship

With the stewardship of our natural resources, the Swan Lake community engaged county and state resources to monitor the health of our lake, the beaver population (and other fish and wildlife), and even the dam constructed as part of the beaver deceiver.

As part of their outreach, local experts were able to provide a day of fun and learning for the neighborhood (adults and kids learned so much). With the relationship we've built with these amazing experts, we learned that Swan Lake itself is super healthy. We learned how to identify the various plants and vegetation; what to expect during the seasonal changes of the water level, and more. In fact, we installed a digital water level meter to help the experts track the inflow and outflow with great precision.

Because we had set up trail cams to monitor our beaver family, we were also treated to some videos of the beavers and even the other wildlife that came to visit their home. Check out the videos below!
