Happy November.

Last night was a blue moon and coming up next is the Beaver Moon. So of course its a great time for organized walks and trips to the pond. In Massachusetts the trip will cost you a whopping 25 dollars!

A Twilight Walk Exploring the Wonderful World of Beavers at Stony Brook

It is so exciting to be at Stony Brook around sunset and during twilight. The fading light signals the start of the ‘day’ for many animals. Creatures such as beavers, foxes, raccoons and many others will become active, foraging and moving about. During this walk, you will learn more about beaver family life, lodge and dam maintenance, home range, and how they contribute to the biodiversity of open space. Bring your flashlight and we’ll cover the lens in red to preserve our night vision before we head out on the trails. A $25.00 registration fee is required for non members.

Beavers are not a cheap date. And getting a host out of their warm house isn’t easy on a wintry Massachusetts evening. Understood. Well it’s something to look forward to. And lord knows we need a collection of those in these troubled times.

Here;s another one for you. Hint: turn your volume UP.

Doesn’t that look amazing? I recognized the faces of Derek Gow, Gerhard Schwab and Chris Jones in the clips, I’m assuming the other man is the researcher, but we’ll see. Here’s the media they released with their trailer.

We are SO excited to share this brand new teaser with you giving you a bit more of a glimpse into the incredible people, species and habitats Sophie Pavelle encountered this summer.  From beavers within enclosures here in England to wild beavers in Scotland and Bavaria, join Sophie on a journey of discovery as she learns about what a future might look like with beavers living wild in our rivers and landscapes across Britain.

Oooh I can’t wait. The Beaver Trust in England has a VERY deep bench, and lots of talent just waiting in the wings to help them along. Expect great things. I do.

Finally a fine runner up from the people’s choice award for best photography from the Museum of Natural History.
