Short Description of Activity
We met Nichole Fox up at the Silverton Vistors Center to learn about the importance of Beavers in our landscape to preserve water and create a healthy ecosystem for other animals. We drove to 3 sights near-by to view and discuss the Beaver lifespan, view abandoned lodges, and living lodges. We saw how the beaver damns create the ponds that filter the water.
Reflection/Evaluation
The goal was education and fun. We learned a lot about Beavers and their significance but also had many healthy discussions about how we need to protect the planet in a way that speaks to us as individuals.
