Mary Obrien was the lode star that guided my path to beavers. And before she was mine she was many. many others teacher and inspiration. This is her last year at the Grand Canyon Trust because she will retire on her birthday in December, so I thought she needed deserved something special. Mary will continue to volunteer her services until long past her dying day Imagine, but this is a fine place to consider her acumen.

March 28, 2020 at 7:19 pmWe love beavers, I saw the largest beaver dam ever at Dolly Sods state park in WVA many years ago. I walked out on the dam and the beaver came right to the spot I had walked on to make repairs if needed. Oh, I am also married to a beaver, Jeannie Beaver
