After spending hundreds of hours observing his resident beavers, Dave Hall, naturalist and author, has gained unique insight into their daily habits.

This lecture will go well beyond dams, lodges and bark to take a rare look into the lives of three very special beavers, Merle, Apple and Amik. Audience members will learn skills and gain perspectives that can be utilized to enrich experiences with all types of wildlife.

Dave’s latest book, The Naturalist’s Guide: A Field Guide to Observing and Understanding Wildlife, was released in September 2022.
