Busy as a Beaver and Eagle-Eyed - OECRBBEE

Judy MacKeigan provides a look at two of the most beloved animals in our Cleveland Metroparks, from a historian’s point of view!  Learn how beaver pelts were at the center of a war that shaped the North American continent. We will discuss how both the eagle and the beaver almost disappeared from this area, and the significance of their return.  And why did Ben Franklin not like eagles? Join us for an indoor program with an optional hike to see the beavers that make their home here.

Optional Hike Terrain: paved, natural surface, one hill, 0.5 mile
