Beavers Pippen and Tosh

 . . . at the Schoharie Land Trust’s Annual Meeting on Thursday, August 27, 2026, 7:00 p.m. at the Middleburgh Library.  We’ll have a brief business meeting.  Following that, we will have a presentation pertinent.to our Preserves and some of our easement-protected lands and other rural residents--Coexisting with Beavers.  Matt Perry, Conservation Director and Resident Naturalist at Spring Farm CARES Nature Sanctuary in Central New York, will be guest speaker.

Matt is especially known for his long-term studies of wild beavers and urban Peregrine Falcons, documenting their behavior, family relationships, and adaptation to changing environments. He is President of Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife and co-founder and President of the Utica Peregrine Falcon Project. He is also the author of forthcoming books on beavers and Peregrine Falcons, to be published by Atria Books. Through his research, writing, and public programs, Perry promotes a deeper understanding of wild animals and coexistence with the wildlife that shares our landscapes.  An accomplished photographer and videographer, Matt will show some of his close up work researching beavers.

Refreshments will be served and there will be an opportunity to chat with Land Trust board members and learn of our work protecting the open space and rural character of Schoharie County.  For further information, contact Andy Mason, (607) 267-8491, This email address is being protected from spambots.
