Did you know, beavers aren’t nature’s only engineers! Join the South Wake Conservationists Chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation for a presentation about nature’s many construction workers. Nature is full of incredible engineers, from beavers crafting wetlands to spiders weaving precision traps. In this program, we’ll explore how animals like beavers, birds, bees, and spiders construct shelters, nests, and more to survive and thrive. Learn how these natural builders shape their ecosystems and what their ingenuity can teach us about adaptation and resilience.
Refreshments, raffle, and social following the lecture.
