Geography


Its 2,187 acres of land contains about 35 miles (56 km) of trails going through an area located between Northern hardwood forests and southern Northeastern coastal forests. It contains a large amount of wetland areas which run along the brook.[2]



History


The Beaver Brook Association was founded in 1964 on a 12-acre (4.9 ha) lot by Hollis P. Nichols and Jeffrey P. Smith.[3]



Activities


The mission of Beaver Brook Association is "to promote an understanding of the interrelationships in the natural world and to demonstrate natural resource stewardship". The association runs activities year round including nature and fitness hikes, herb and gardening classes, survival skills, orienteering, snowshoeing, mindfulness in nature, forest ecology classes and more. They offer weeklong sessions of summer nature camps. In addition, environmental education programs are offered to schools, libraries and other audiences. Over 6,000 school students attend these programs each year.[4][5] The association often sponsors educational events on its campus as well as at nearby museums, schools and libraries.[1] It also has farming and grazing areas, a group campsite with cabins and fire circles, multiple historic buildings for classrooms and meeting spaces plus 12 theme gardens maintained by volunteers.[3]
