Good morning,

Friday 7th April is International Beaver Day.

Beavers are known for their tree-munching activities, but many people may not know that they use every bit of the tree that they fell! That’s right, they are super efficient with their use of the environment. They eat the buds, bark and leaves, before gnawing the branches and trunk into smaller pieces to build with.

International Beaver Day is a fairly modern celebration, getting its start in 2008 when the group Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife decided a day would be useful for raising public awareness about the beaver. As a shy species, many people aren’t aware of its importance and benefit to the overall health of the environment and ecosystems where it lives. Some people even refer to beavers as “flat-tailed heroes”!

International Beaver Day aims to celebrate and raise awareness of the plight of the rodent. So now is the time to get ready and enjoy the observance of this fun day!

How will you be celebrating?
