Pond life includes a wide variety of aquatic animals and plants including some turtles, frogs, and snakes as well as wading and diving birds.  Ponds may also house muskrats and beaver. Join Mass Audubon Habitat’s Barbara Bates and find out more about what’s below the pond surface, what’s at the surface, who built it, and what they are doing there.

About Barbara: For the past 16 years, Barbara Bates has been a teacher naturalist for Mass Audubon’s Habitat Education Center & Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont. She leads guided nature walks for all ages on a variety of subjects and presents programs at several Continuing Care Retirement Communities and Senior Centers. Barbara has retired several times – first from a lifetime of working in the high-tech world, and more recently from teaching negotiation and conflict resolution as an adjunct faculty at Northeastern University. She loves all things nature and is not sure she will ever retire from leading nature programs.
