LYSANDER — Onondaga County Executive J. Ryan McMahon, II on Jan. 17 helped formally open a new, permanent exhibition at Beaver Lake Nature Center in the town of Lysander.
The exhibit was designed to connect the nature center’s visitors to the outdoors. The theme of the exhibition centers on the five different habitats found at Beaver Lake (wetlands, lake, forest, fields, and edge), as well as the natural and human history of Central New York.
It also features a life-size beaver lodge to crawl through and an exhibit that focuses on how all citizens can be good environmental stewards. A variety of methods and learning styles are used to reach people from different backgrounds, ages, and with different learning needs.
“This new exhibit is a great addition to our already outstanding park at Beaver Lake. Thank you to the Friends of Beaver Lake and our other community partners who made this possible.” McMahon said in a news release.
Beaver Lake Nature Center, an Onondaga County Park, was founded in 1970 and offers the community year-round opportunities to discover, explore, and connect with the natural world with its diverse habitats. It provides educational activities and programs. The nature center is located 3 miles west of the village Baldwinsville off Route 370. Admission is $5 per vehicle.
