Check out this invite to particpate in the East Bay Regional Parks Trails Challenge.
The Martinez beavers have garnered more fame, but there are beavers at Big Break, too. Big Break Regional Shoreline in Oakley will be the venue for a couple of nature programs this weekend and next. This Sunday, naturalist Mike Moran will lead a walk there from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to look for waterfowl and signs of our broad-tailed, bucktoothed, tree-felling friends, nature’s civil engineers. The program is free of charge, but reservations are necessary. Phone 1-888-327-2757, select option 2, then 3 and refer to program 20170. Mike’s program repeats on Feb. 22 as program 20171.
Kind of nice to see our beavers being used to help other colonies, and a relief to have beavers in Oakley that aren’t routinely killed, which I know happens without any reporters. I haven’t had any contact with Mike Moran, but that would be a great relationship to cultivate. If you’re an interested beaver supporter why not join in and make the introductions?
