About This Program

Students learn about the historical and ecological importance of beavers.

Through guided hikes and hands on activities, students learn about the history of beavers on the landscape and the ecology of our industrious neighbours while meeting grade specific curricular connections. Activities are site, grade and weather dependent but may include pond dips, build a beaver, a web of life game and storytelling.

What to Expect

Programs at the Weaselhead are entirely outside, there is no indoor facility. There are no bathrooms available once in the park. Students should come prepared for a full day outside with weather appropriate clothing including close toed shoes, layers and sunscreen.
