The week before the beaver festival I was invited to present about our beavers at the journaling workshop of John Muir Laws. The ideas is that the guest talks about their work in conservation of a species and then Jack teaches a virtual webinar to an untold number of students around the world and walks them through how to draw it.
It took a while for the video to drop but this week it appeared and I am so glad it will encourage beaver artists for years to come.
I was touched to watch him work from this photo because for those of you who don’t know that is our original mother beaver in all her glory. Before she got sick before her eye condition. She was young and healthy having brought at least 4 kits into the world. It was taken on May 3 2008 which means we hadn’t seen the next years kits yet although they were already born,
If there is a single beaver I will never forget and always be thankful for it is our original mom.
