Ever feel like you’re trapped in a 1970’s production of Charlotte’s web? Think about it: we’re all Fern. Here something we care about is threatened by the status quo – the way it’s always done, “don’t be sentimental – this is just the way it is”. We know that something we care about is worth fighting for. We keep working to show the city that our beavers are terrific, unique, worth viewing. We decide to use our untested talents in completely new ways to take care of what we love. We send our research team out to find new and interesting beaver facts that we can weave into our “web”. People come from all over to appreciate the beavers. They bring their children and grandparents. They tell their friends. We beam like Wilbur with the hope that maybe now, things will be different.
And the city just wants its bacon.
