We learned something about that first hand 18 years ago and remind ourselves of it every summer.

“When we learned all about beavers and that they create these ponds that can sustain biodiversity, you’re like, ‘My goodness! They’re amazing!'” Chong said, adding that beavers are basically engineers, finding what they do incredible.

I heard from CEO Ian Landi  that the excellent backpacking clothing Trailkeepers co who donated popular shirts to the festival last year is willing to help us again; I’m proud to say they have MANY more excellent beaver designs in their line up.

Thanks Ian!
