Adventures at the Great Beaver Swamp
Offered by Galiano Conservancy Association and last updated on March 01, 2011.
Description
Discover the wonders of wetlands at our recently purchased Great Beaver Swamp property which adjoins the Pebble Beach Reserve. The wetland is maintained by beaver activity and contains a beaver lodge, rare red-legged frog, rough-skinned newt and their associated habitats. Students study the function of the wetland and link its health to the health of the watershed as a whole. Participants learn about the unique adaptations of wetland plants, search for animal clues and investigate aquatic insects.
