Description
Step into the role of a nature detective, uncovering the clues that beavers leave behind on the landscape.
Explore the trails with a naturalist, learning how to find, identify, and even 'age' signs like gnawed trees, dams, and lodge work. Along the way, you'll discover how beavers shape wetlands, support biodiversity, and improve water quality. Winter makes their handiwork easier to spot, with bare branches and long open sightlines across the ponds.
Leave with the skills to identify signs of activity at a beaver pond wherever you find one.
