We are pleased to announce that The Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Beaver Pond Blind opened on May 1, 2010 at Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park.  The blind overlooks an abandoned beaver pond that has become a habitat for a variety of Eastern North Carolina's wetland species, including turtles, frogs, herons, egrets, songbirds, and even White-tailed deer. 

Visitors can view the area through small openings in the walls of the blind while remaining invisible to the surrounding wildlife. 

New Exhibit at Sylvan Heights

Also, be sure to see the new Ruff exhibit on your way to the blind!  Nineteen of these charming Eurasian shorebirds recently arrived at Sylvan Heights.  Ruff males are spectacularly colorful when in full breeding plumage.  We hope you will visit the Park soon to see these new additions!
