MDAS will be exhibiting at the 12th annual Beaver Festival, which will be held on Saturday, June 29, from 11 am-4 pm in Susana Park, located at Estudillo and Susana Street in Martinez. There will be live music, wildlife booths, beaver tours and children’s activities. Why should a birder make time for a beaver festival? Beavers help birds – increasing fish and insects and creating wetland habitat. The tools of curiosity, community engagement, and public outcry that saved the Martinez beavers can help Audubon as well.
