What are you doing this Saturday? Why not make a pilgrimage to Napa and see ribbon cutting ceremony on the beaver interpretive signs? Yes you heard me right.
Ribbon Cutting for new interpretive designs, featuring Napa Creek’s Urban Beaver Colony
Celebration of Napa Creek’s Urban Beavers. Since the completion of the Napa Flood Protection plan, the American Beaver – once plentiful throughout California but hunted and trapped to near-extinction – have begun to return to Napa River tributaries. The Napa Creek colony is unique in that it is thriving right in the middle of downtown. New interpretive signs designed by the P4 Practicum Group of this year’s Leadership Napa Valley class will help locals and visitors alike to understand and appreciate this special animal and its habitat in the restored Napa Creek corridor.
I’m pretty sure they will feature the awesome photographs of one Rusty Cohn. How splendid to show them off and explain all the beavers good works. This was always my dream for Martinez. But the best laid plans of mice and men sometimes take a few generations to reach fruition. Let’s hope it will happen again soon.
Maybe in Fairfield?
