5 Part Docuseries of Beaver Ponds in Southern New England: Part 2 - Late Spring

Please join the Simsbury Grange and The Simsbury Public Library in welcoming local filmmaker, Ray Asselin, as he presents his 5-part Beaver Pond Wildlife series documenting a full year’s time at New England beaver ponds. The films are scheduled to coincide with what you can expect to see at northeastern beaver ponds at that time of the year. All of the films will be shown at 7:00 pm at the grange with an informal social hour beginning at 6:00 pm. Guests may bring food to enjoy outside or in the lower level before each film begins.
