*** About Beavers: Beavers are fascinating creatures known for their ability to drastically alter the landscapes in which they live. These large, primarily nocturnal, semi-aquatic rodents are famous for building dams, canals, and lodges. They have a profound impact on the ecosystem, creating wetlands that increase the biodiversity of their habitats. These wetlands can improve water quality, help to recharge groundwater, and can even mitigate floods. Beavers are monogamous and highly social, living in small family groups. Their sharp teeth, powerful jaws, and impressive building skills highlight their importance in folklore and animal symbolism, particularly within various First Nations communities across Canada, where they are often associated with persistence, creativity, and stewardship of the environment.
