About Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary
With its forest that opens up to a secluded pond, Waseeka offers the opportunity to observe woodland birds and waterbirds, wildflowers, and a fire-enhanced forest with a diverse tree population. The standing dead trees and snags in the pond provide nesting sites for bluebirds, pileated woodpeckers, great blue herons, ospreys, and an occasional great horned owl.

Acres: 229 Trail Mileage: 1 mile

Sanctuary Highlights From Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary webpage
 * Great views of the pond wildlife, from birds to beavers, from the Sassafras Trail named for the tree with three different shaped leaves.
 * A mutually beneficial “beaver pipe,” which helps maintain a consistent and manageable pond level suitable for the beavers.
 * Osprey nesting above the pond, from midspring to early fall.
 * Duck boxes that serve as nesting sites for wood ducks and hooded mergansers.
 * Programs occasionally offered through Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary.
