Back in December Worth A Dam hosted a fieldtrip for 60 Las Juntas third graders. Jon and Lory took them on a tour of the dam. I gave a lecture on beavers. And Fro taught them the beaver chant and helped them draw chalk beavers on the sidewalk. They were bright, enthusiastic, and very excited about beavers. We all felt very happy that day.
Then we all went home and took naps.

And thirty of these…
Here’s a sample:
I’ve been called a lot of names since I started fussing about our beavers. “Martinez Beaver Protector” is by FAR the nicest. Look closely at the tail in the drawing by Gianna. It’s mom.
