Beavers are known for many distinctive traits: big buck teeth, flat tails, dam-building—and felling trees and damaging property . We’ll learn about the interesting history and behaviors of these large rodents, how they help the environment, and what the state does to manage their population.
Note that Leila Philip will speak about her book Beaverland at Print: A Bookstore in Portland on February 29th at 7pm. The event is sponsored by Scarborough Land Trust.
Panelists:
Amanda Demusz, regional wildlife biologist, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife
Leila Philip, award-winning author of nonfiction, including Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America; professor, College of the Holy Cross
