| We created this exhibit to raise awareness about beavers and their importance for ecosystems. In altering habitats, beavers create a variety of opportunities for other species to live in places where they could not otherwise survive, for this reason they are an important keystone species.
We also wanted to raise awareness about beavers living on campus. At Rocky Branch, there is a public science project that provides an opportunity to contribute to ongoing observations of beaver engineering in action. |
