Beaver Lodge

Beaver lodge is the humble home of a hardworking pair of beavers. Incredibly industrious, these creatures are critical for a healthy ecosystem from which many other benefits. With their dams, they stabilize water levels and protect against drought, floods and erosion as well as improve water quality. This unique environmental superhero increases biodiversity by creating this wetland habitat.

Walking into this quiet and secure den of chewed logs, mud and grass you are welcomed by a beaver happily chewing near the headboard while its partner is entering with a freshly cut leafy twig.

Let’s hope the chewing does not keep you awake through the long dark night of this winter oasis.
