This past weekend we had a really fun beaver program. Thirteen hardy souls came out despite the cold and snow/ice still on the ground. It was a beautiful day for exploring the forest in search of beaver activity. One additional fun piece to the day was that Christine Nguyen from the Herald Sun was at the program taking pictures. So if the pictures in this blog look especially nice you can thank the Herald Sun for the use of these.
Despite only snowing 1 inch or so, this snowfall had lasted all week. A testament to how cold it has been. We hiked out to where there has been a fair amount of beaver activity over the past year and looked for signs of beaver. I think that this was a pretty good sign...
This was one of many different trees that we found
that had been chewed up and taken down. There wasn't
much to see in the river since the ice was solid all the way
accross. We saw a lot and hopefully learned a lot too.
