Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Day: November 12, 2020


Of course we can’t forget that November’s full moon is known as the BEAVER MOON, and this usually generates some fun press and events as well. Take this from the Stonybrook Wildlife Sanctuary in Walpole Massachusetts.

A Twilight Walk Exploring the Wonderful World of Beavers at Stony

It is so exciting to be at Stony Brook around sunset and during twilight. The fading light signals the start of the ‘day’ for many animals. Creatures such as beavers, foxes, raccoons and many others will become active, foraging and moving about. During this walk, you will learn more about beaver family life, lodge and dam maintenance, home range, and how they contribute to the biodiversity of open space. Bring your flashlight and we’ll cover the lens in red to preserve our night vision before we head out on the trails. Registration is required.

That sounds like a fun shivery walk. I guess Covid means you can’t gather around a fire with some hot chocolate afterwards, but gosh dress warm everyone!

This is the other film The Beaver Trust dropped the other day, and engaging stop motion by filmmaker Lauren Cook.

Wonderful! They are so many arrows in their quiver I am biting my keyboard in envy. But it’s all good. And it helps beavers everywhere so bring on the full force of the beaver trust!

Now  let me just close by saying that as a Buffy Believer even before I was a beaver believer, this makes me very happy. Now I owe Stacy two drinks.
