The Clan of Engineers
Time: 7:00 PM
Place: Dummerston Community Center, West St., West Dummerston, VT (about 24 miles from Keene)
Price: Free
Ages: Older crowd
Join BEEC naturalist Patti Smith on a vicarious trip to the valley inhabited by Willow, Bunchberry, Snowberry, Ducky, Dewberry, and Sundew, the beaver family that she has been studying for the past four years. Take a photographic journey through the seasons and lives of these exceptional engineering mammals,
Patti will then pass the reins to human engineer, Skip Lisle, who will talk about the beavers’ ecological role as creators of wetlands and as an important keystone species throughout their range. The same activities that make beavers so important to other wildlife often fail to endear them to people. Skip will also talk about the technologies he pioneered to reduce human/beaver conflicts. Find out how they can be used to restore beavers to places where they have been unwelcome, and to keep beavers in places where their welcome is wearing thin.
