January Meeting Presentation - The Canadian Beaver

By Nature Moncton

Biologist Andrew Hebda, retired curator of zoology at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, will present this talk on the Canadian Beaver (Castor canadensis), which is in its 51st year (March 24, 1975) as Canada’s national animal. The Beaver has been very influential in Canada’s national development, especially in the early fur trade of the 1600s. Andrew will cover all three species of the Canadian Beaver, including their prehistory, history, natural history, and lots more. He will examine our intimate and natural relationship with this member of the Rodentia, and where the European Beaver fits in. As in any presentation Andrew Hebda gives, this promises to be a fascinating look at our national animal.

This presentation will be 100% virtual, allowing participants to enjoy excellent audio and visuals and the ability to participate freely. All are welcome, Nature Moncton member or not.
