The Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary has had a rough year, so it’s time for a party.
The Elisha Mitchell Audubon Society, which owns and manages the sanctuary in North Asheville, will host an afternoon party, 1-4 p.m. this Sunday, Sept. 8, to celebrate the completion of the many improvements made to the Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary, 1056 Merrimon Avenue, Asheville.

The celebration will feature exhibitors, nature activities for children and adults, live raptors, and music. Naturalists will be stationed along the boardwalk ready to tell visitors about the many unique features of the sanctuary and the flora and fauna found there.
The party is open to the public.
General parking for the celebration is available at the North Asheville Library, right next door. Handicapped parking will be available at the sanctuary itself. People are encouraged to use public transportation or to come by bike and use the new bicycle rack near the Great Blue Heron sculpture.
In addition to all the improvements, including new boardwalks and viewing areas at the bird sanctuary, the natural area has had some major headaches this past year.
