The Realm of the Beaver

Mountain Man “Crazy Will” will join us for a special appearance for this program.
Since before Trinidad Lake State Park was created, beavers have been shaping the landscape of the Purgatory River Valley. Their dam-building skills are impressive- but there’s so much more to discover about these remarkable rodents. This program will dive into the surprising ways beavers have adapted to survive and thrive, and the critical role they play in our ecosystem. Join us for a fun and informative evening celebrating North America’s largest rodent!
