Beaversprite founder guards tiny sanctuary from harvesters
Dolgeville resident Dorothy Richards, 89, leads a wildlife haven named Beaversprite on a 1,200 acre sanctuary near Dolgeville in the Adirondacks.

Richards, once unfamiliar with wildlife, has spent decades studying and raising beavers in her basement to protect the species.
