- Protecting Species at Beaver Lake Nature Center
- What occurred
- Beaver Lake started off as a natural landing spot for many animals during their migration periods. Additionally, the land surrounding the lake was used for growing tobacco, potatoes and corn. Cows often grazed the land and other animal life was very obviously present. In the 1920s hunting was permitted on this land, this changed in 1963 when Onondaga County acquired all but 10 acres of the property in attempt to protect and preserve it along with the species within. The lake is currently a popular hiking spot in Central New York with 9 miles of trails, there are also informational programs for kids as well as adults who want to learn the history of the lake.
