Autumn Exploration Series with TINS: Birds, Botany, and Beavers at Spooner Lake
Join the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) guides and nonprofit partner Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS) for a guided nature walk around beautiful Spooner Lake as we explore the vibrant life that remains as summer winds down. Led by naturalist Sarah Hockensmith and volunteers from the Tahoe Rim Trail Association, this outing is a perfect way to connect with nature during the cooler days of early fall.
We’ll be on the lookout for migrating birds headed south, discover late-blooming wildflowers, and search for signs of local beavers: from gnawed trees to dams and lodges, there’s plenty of evidence of their busy activity! Whether you’re a birder, botanist, wildlife enthusiast, or just enjoy being outdoors, this adventure offers something for everyone.
