Beaver Brouhaha!
Beavers provide an important influence to their surrounding ecosystem. As nature's engineers, their dam building skills contribute many positive consequences to improving habitat for plants and other wildlife. However, their need for riparian habitats can also pose challenges to humans. Beavers naturally spread out in adaptation to their changing surroundings; which can pose problems in urban and rural communities. Join Larimer County Naturalist Betsy Perna to explore a local riparian habitat and discover how learning about beaver behavior can help us deal with the challenges of living with urban beavers.
