The Dover Free Library's 31th Annual Dessert Social Fundraiser presents Willow: A Beaver's Tale, a slideshow presentation with Naturalist Patti Smith

Follow the life of Willow, the remarkable matriarch of a beaver colony on a wild brook in southeastern Vermont. Naturalist Patti Smith has spent over a decade with Willow's clan, documenting their trials and triumphs. During this presentation she will share the stories, pictures and videos that celebrate this beaver and the world she created. Along the way, meet Terrible Jack, a lonely moose, and other wildlife drawn to the habitat created by the beavers.

Patti Smith is a naturalist and wildlife rehabilitator at the Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center in Brattleboro. She is the author of, the Beavers of Popple's Pond, which documents her early years of beaver observation. Her View from Heifer columns in the Brattleboro Reformer, take readers into the lives of the beavers, porcupines, and other wildlife she studies and teaches about.
