We visited Sand Ridge today to learn about beavers and see the engineering work of a beaver. The Nature Preserve has a new beaver who has built a large lodge very close to the walking path. The resident naturalists are excited, but a little nervous because many trees are coming down each night. I learned that a beaver digs canals in the waterways to make an easier floating path for the trees it uses to build dam and lodge. Amazing animal.
We enjoyed seeing many early spring wildflowers on the soggy walk.
