Description

Cost: $25
Advance registration required.
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. In Seattle and throughout the Puget Sound region, many beavers find homes in the urban and exurban waterways.

Beavers Northwest Executive Director Elyssa Kerr 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.

Join us after the presentation for a 1 mile walk along the Yesler Swamp Boardwalk to look for beavers and beaver sign - binoculars are suggested if you have them!
