The ABC’s of Beavers
When it comes to North American Beavers, it all about the ABC’s: their adaptations, their building abilities, and the need for their conservation. This outdoor program takes place along the shore of the beaver-inhabited Ongley Pond. After dressing up a lucky participant with the adaptations of a beaver, we’ll stroll past a real beaver lodge and chewed tree stumps, discussing beavers’ architectural skills and their importance as engineers in wetland ecosystems. Please wear appropriate hiking shoes and layers. Onsite and in-person only. (As an addition or alternative, we offer a 1 hour hike to provide a more in-depth exploration of the world of beavers. Additional charge.)
