Learn about Lethbridge’s urban beavers and its recently developed adaptive beaver management strategy.

Join Kirby England (P.Biol.) the lead author of the recently published City of Lethbridge Beaver Management strategy to learn about beavers and their role as the best dam wetland managers on the landscape.

From a brief background on beaver ecology, we will discuss beaver management science and practices as well as an introduction to groups, such as the Beaver Institute, working to better live alongside North America’s original ecosystem engineer. Then we will hit closer to home by sharing findings from the fieldwork in Lethbridge associated with the development of the beaver management strategy. Finally, we will discuss current and planned applied research ongoing at Lethbridge College related to beavers, fish, and southern Alberta streams.  

The presentation will be held at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre community room, located in the Lethbridge river valley at the north end of Indian Battle Road South.

Furthermore, Nature Lethbridge is offering to join this event via zoom.
