Beaver Meadow, while the premiere nature center of Buffalo Audubon Society with a Visitor's Center, full-time staff, and regularly-scheduled programming, is also a 324-acre nature preserve. The first parcels were acquired in 1951 and steadily grew over the years as other parcels were sold or bequeathed to the Society. By the 1960's the Preserve was being used as an outdoor education site and during the 1970s, the first facilities were constructed, tucked away in a corner of the Preserve. The preserve features its namesake "beaver meadow", a five-acre pond with an active beaver lodge, glacial kettle ponds, wetlands with a boardwalk trail, wooded uplands, meadows, a hawk watch, an arboretum, and eight miles of marked and groomed trails.
