Beaver Lodge and Wetland
Beaver Lodge and Wetland
Step inside a beaver lodge and across lily pads as you learn how a wetland works. Meet nature’s wetland engineer, beavers, who build dams and create wetlands. Walk through a marsh and find out how wetlands improve water quality by naturally filtering out pollution, help prevent flooding, and provide important fish and wildlife habitat.
