Never fear that June 27 came and went without a beaver festival. Actions to educate people and save beavers are happening in little ways all across the state. And this still happened in San Luis Obispo.
Today is a great day! I’ve been (safely, distanced + mask + outdoors) meeting so many amazing people and getting to talk about my favorite thing: beavs!
If you want to chat with me about beavs in Central or Southern California, my contact info is on my website: emilyfairfaxscience.com
Planning to do more socially distanced, mask on pond visits in the future both here and down on the Santa Ynez. Keep your eyes out for more info!
That’s right. That was Emily Fairfax leading a beaver tour on the day. And she’s wearing the very same beaver mask that I have. Because honestly, what else would suffice?
Audrey of the San Luis Obispo Beaver Brigade gathered folks together and was kind enough to remember what day it was.
It was a great day! Thank you Emily for sharing so much beaver knowledge to our county and getting folks excited about beavers here. I think we have a few more Beaver Believers after yesterday. Heidi Perryman, we honored your Beaver Festival date even with a cancelled festival!
Oh and something to keep your spirits up while taking a beaver hike in a mask. And here’s the soundtrack if you need a reminder.

Isn’t that marvelous? Turns out Wes and Margie the two helpers who came to our festival last year will come up in March and get whatever materials we can share, like our beaver lawn signs and some larger artwork so that we can be there in spirit, showing them 14 years of support and cheering them on.
