Detailed course description online.
Learn about beaver habitat and biology. Take a hike along McDonald Creek.
Instructor: Jerda Smeltzer, M.S.
Beaver are second only to humans in their ability to alter their environment. The habitats they create are vital to the livelihood of a huge number of species from birds to insects to elk. We will learn about these habitats, beaver biology and their role as an essential keystone species. An evening hike along the shores of McDonald Creek may offer an opportunity to see beavers busy at work.
Empasizing field-based learning experiences, the Institute provides an objective and science based understanding of the area's ecology and its interaction with people. Through this non-advocacy approach to outdoor education, participants can be better prepared to make informed and constructive decisions which impact this and other ecosystems.
