There are about a million reasons why wetlands matter. Here’s just one.
Protecting Wetlands Helps Communities Reduce Damage From Hurricanes And Storms
You know what is really good at making wetlands? Yeah, I’m sure you do. If only we would stop killing them long enough to let them do their jobs maybe they would have a chance to help us.
Beavers work hard. Our New Hampshire friend Art Wolinsky posted this yesterday showing the beavers at his condo are hard at work trying to expand theirs. Remember that silly young beaver who was trying to dam a tree last time?
Let’s just say he’s found his niche.
That little snickerdoodle! I love this beaver with a fiery passion. Doesn’t it remind you of those childhood stories where some little hero is too short to reach the water fountain, or play rugby with his brothers but because he is so small it turns out he’s the only one who can crawl for help when the mine collapses or whatever?
He or she turns out to be the unexpected hero of the day!
I’m sure Art will do what needs to be done to manage things safely. There should be more stories like that. Speaking of which, here’s a fine story-time from the Louiseville Public Library.
I hate to break it to you but it’s monday and we always know how that turns out. You are going to need this just to get by. I know it’s not about beavers, but believe me, don’t try and sip your coffee while you watch it. I know you’ll thank me for it.
