Fireside Lecture: Beavers and Ecosystem Resilience

April 20, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

$22 – $30

For our Fireside Lecture this month we are joined by award-winning writer Leila Philip, author of BEAVERLAND. Beautifully written and impeccably researched, BEAVERLAND reveals the profound ways in which one odd creature and the trade surrounding it has shaped history, culture, and our environment.

Grab a hot toddy and sit by the fire to enjoy a poignant personal narrative. A startling portrait of the secretive world of the contemporary fur trade, and an engrossing ecological and historical investigation of these heroic animals who, once trapped to the point of extinction, have returned to the landscape as one of the greatest conservation stories of the 20th century.

This season, we are offering an additional childcare option for families in our hands-on, STEAM-focused space, called the Curiosity Lab! A Teacher Naturalist will be present while the lecture takes place and a fire roars on in the Studio! You can enjoy an educational lecture, a cozy venue, and a hot toddy while your little one engages in crafting, story time, and nature play with an educator. We require that all children be fully potty trained. Please fill in all information requested in order to complete your registration for childcare. Register here.
