After decades of near-absence in much of Rocky Mountain National Park, beaver are reclaiming their key role in the ecology of the park’s streams.
In this course, we'll discuss the return of beavers to RMNP, as well as beaver ecology and the interrelationships with elk, moose, birds, and fish. We will also discuss what we might expect in the future as gray wolves are restored to Colorado. Participants should plan to spend the day outdoors and will encounter marshy areas and shallow water while visiting beaver ponds. Be prepared to “wade wet” or bring waterproof boots for the time in the field.
