Perhaps no animal has been more influential on the history of our region than the beaver. Among the beaver's unique characteristics are its large teeth that can chew through a tree, the layered fur that protects them from the cold, and their ability to stay under water for prolonged periods. Their engineering skills enable them to not only build large lodges to raise their young, but construct dams out of mud and sticks that can alter the local environment.
