Spread sheet for beaver resources assembled by the Beaver Institute Working Group:

Beavers are an engaging, charismatic species that can help children and adolescents learn about habitat, ecosystems and the environment. A field trip to the dam can be a great way to bring those lessons home, as well as an easy opportunity to see nature up close. Amtrak offers the perfect transportation choice, as the train station is right next to the secondary dam. If you’re considering adding beaver education to your classroom, these resources might be helpful:
