Join us for a volunteer party and Special Nature Walk with BeaversNW!
As ecosystem engineers, beavers have a big impact on the habitats that they call home. This can often be a boon for fish and wildlife sharing this space, and sometimes be a headache for people nearby. Join Beavers Northwest staff to learn about these amazing animals, including their unique adaptations and behaviors, incredible ecological benefits, as well as the challenges and opportunities afforded by partnering with beavers to help restore local watersheds!
