There’s a large tree down on the Purple Trail and the trail is closed for today. We’ll get to this on Wednesday afternoon and reopen the trail.

We were just alerted to a dead fox right in the middle of a trail in the preserve. We have removed the fox from trail and buried it. The fox looked healthy and looked like it had only been dead less than 24 hours. Please be advised again to PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH when in MBP. We don’t want your furry friends to encounter a dead animal and catch something.

🦊 BABIES!!!! We have a new fox kit at the fox den. We’ll keep you posted with pics from our cellular game camera we have at the den site. Maybe we’ll get some more. Please remember to be extra vigilant about keeping your pets closely leashed this time of year.

Today Alex and Eddie from the MBP board removed the bog bridges from the former meadow crossing between the Yellow Loop and the a Blue Loop. This leaves the only current crossing between the east and west sides of the preserve on the south end along the Purple Trail. We will hopefully reopen the old Yellow/Green crossing soon.

The beavers are back!
The stream crossing between the yellow loop and the Blue Loop, through the old beaver pond, has turned into a new beaver pond and is no longer passable. As of right now (end of March) the only open crossing between the east and west sides of the preserve is the Purple Trail on the south end of the preserve. Please plan your trips accordingly! We will be shifting things around a bit this spring, so please be prepared to roll with the chances as we adapt to new stream changes through the preserve.
