Thank you to everyone who joined our Sips 'n' Science pub talk with Brian Bangs at New Morning Bakery - Dallas on March 16, 2023. Below is the recorded presentation, ready for viewing and sharing!
Synopsis: Beaver, often referred to as nature's engineers, have incredible adaptations that make them masters of working in and modifying aquatic environments to suit their needs. In this presentation, Brian will be discussing the interesting biology and specializations of beaver, the role beaver play in creating habitat for other creatures, and inventive approaches to managing conflicts with beaver.
A big thank you goes to Willamette Habitat Restoration Fund and Benton Soil & Water Conservation District for providing the funding that allows us to make this event free of charge
