Busy Beavers: Nature’s Ecosystem Engineers – Wed, Nov 20th
Join experts from Beavers NW online to learn about one of our least seen but most impactful creatures. 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, but a headache for people nearby. Throughout the Puget Sound region, many beavers find homes in the urban and exurban waterways resulting in conflicts with human land use. Beavers Northwest staff will dive into beaver ecology and benefits as well as the challenges and opportunities for living with beavers in a landscape dominated by human infrastructure. This event is hosted by Friends of Fort Flagler.
Time: 4 – 6pm | Location: online, register here.
