*** About Beavers

***: Beavers, known scientifically as Castor canadensis, are one of nature’s most skilled engineers. These large, semi-aquatic rodents are celebrated for their ability to build dams and lodges using tree branches, vegetation, and mud. This behavior creates wetlands, which are beneficial for other species including fish, birds, and amphibians. Beavers are a keystone species, playing a critical role in maintaining the health and sustainability of their aquatic habitats. Their activities can also aid in the restoration of wetlands and the replenishment of aquifers, making their environmental impact profoundly positive.
