  Let's Celebrate International Beaver Day!

Celebrated Every April 7th.

International Beaver Day is a day to realize the importance of beavers and 

their role in a healthy environment.

A Few Beaver Facts...

• International Beaver Day is on April 7th in honor of Dorothy Richards, who studied beavers for nearly 50 years.
• Beavers can weigh up to 40 pounds.
• Beavers mate for life.
• Beaver babies are called kits and stay with their parents for about two years.
• Beavers' teeth never stop growing. This is why they must gnaw on wood to prevent their teeth from getting too long.
