Dorothy and Al Richards spent decades observing and documenting the Beavers at Beaversprite in Dolgeville, New York, leaving behind an extraordinary record of long-term Beaver observation. Part of that legacy survives in her 16mm films, which documented the Beavers she knew so well, along with the sanctuary, its habitats, and other wildlife.
