Enjoying the drizzling rain our younger students had a wonderful time on our beaver walk. We were very lucky to have John Stella and Beth Moughty (Marina’s parents) as tour guides. John challenged us to search for signs of beaver and signs of spring. We counted four beaver dams in the feeder canal and a large one with a rushing waterfall over it on Butternut Creek. There was evidence of chopped down trees and wood chips. We also observed green plants in the canal and buds on trees and bushes on the brink of bursting forth with new leaves. We were fascinated by the ways seeds are transported by weight, wind and stinking to animals and us! John brought a beaver skull that he found in California to loan to us. Be sure to stop in a check it out!
