Beaver Fest 2023
Minnesota's first Beaver Festival was a smashing success!Â
Over the course of a few hours, over 400 people stopped by to learn about the ecosystem services provided by beavers, beavers in the Cowling Arboretum, beaver harvesting, and how to deal with nuisance beavers.
Volunteers were able to wrap trees around Lyman Lakes in protective wiring and we were able to raise $650 for Carleton Mutual Aid.
Thank you to everyone who attended this event. Stay tuned for updates on Beaverfest 2024!!!

The Northfield beaver festival was inspired by the work of Beaver Festival organizers in Martinez, CA. If you have a chance, consider checking out their website to learn about how their community responded to nuisance beavers.
Our event will be much smaller, but we have big plans to turn this into a fun annual community event!
