SUMMARY:Other:Water Week: Stewardship and Co-existence with Beaver
DESCRIPTION:For millennia\, beavers have engineered the waterways of the Great Lakes region\, creating wetlands that store and filter water\, recharge groundwater\, and support rich biodiversity. Sydney Lubeck\, Mel Shea & Evyn Ladendorf-Lilly\, MS SEAS graduates\, explore the beaver's role as a keystone species and ecosystem engineer\, then look beyond Michigan to see how other states are successfully coexisting with beaver — drawing on a couple of case studies that offer practical lessons and inspiration for stewardship of our own waterways here in the Great Lakes region.\n\n\nFollowing the presentation\, join us for a guided walk to visit the Gnawsons' territory and look for signs of beaver activity — chewed stumps\, lodges\, dams\, and channels — while observing how their engineering shapes habitat for birds\, amphibians\, fish\, and countless other species that call these waterways home.
