Beavers are a keystone species vital to the creation and maintenance of healthy ecosystems. The Beaver has been a Co-Creator of the North American landscape since long before we two leggeds arrived here, either First Peoples or us Moderns -- by at least a million years!


A working group of the partners is meeting to plan fun and educational public events, meetings with town officials, expert presentations, installation of a beaver deceiver, community discussions and more! Stay tuned for further announcements.
