Join us for an exciting exploration of the Weaselhead Natural Area as we search for signs of one of nature’s most important ecosystem engineers—the beaver! Participants will discover lodges, dams, and freshly cut trees while learning about the fascinating history, biology, and behaviors of beavers. Together, we’ll uncover how these incredible animals support biodiversity and keep our watersheds healthy. Hopefully we will also meet the family of beavers living by the bridge!

Soil Erosion and River Health

Monday, August 10 7-9:30pm

North parking lot at the corner of 37 St and 66 Ave SW

Join us as we explore how our actions on the land — from where we walk, ride, or dig — ripple outward through soil, plants, animals, and the river. Discover some of the living things that share the park with us and learn how we can all enjoy the park while supporting a healthy watershed.
Participants will walk away understanding how small choices can create big positive effects downstream.
