Tiny Trekkers: On the Trail of Beavers

As master engineers, beavers shape the landscape at Stony Brook with intricate dams and sturdy lodges that support their colony.

Start indoors learning all about beavers and make a beaver craft to bring home. Then, follow the naturalist leader outside to look for the real evidence along the trails: gnawed stumps, lodges, and dam.

Every month, Tiny Trekkers connects young learners to the natural world, building the curiosity and care that grows into a lifetime of environmental stewardship.
