Beaver Walk, Forest Week 2026

Join us for an in-person evening adventure during Forest Week 2026! Discover the fascinating world of beavers up close. It's a perfect chance to connect with nature, learn fun facts, and enjoy a relaxed walk along the Marden Creek trail at Ignatius Jesuit Centre (located just north of Guelph).

Despite these incredible services and the fact that beavers are Canada's national animal, Canada has never had a national organization dedicated to beavers, let alone beaver-based restoration and coexistence. The closest thing that ever existed was the Hudson’s Bay Company…and they were about killing beavers.

It’s about time this changed and that Canada focused attention on creating nature-based solutions using one industrious and persistent engineer, the beaver.

Suppress wildfires

Replenish aquifers

Mitigate climate change

Increase biodiversity

Resist drought

Stop flooding…and more.

Beavers provide solutions to many of the biggest ecological challenges our society faces.

They do all of this simultaneously and for FREE!

Be a part of the beaver revolution!

Coexsistence

The national organization’s mission will be to promote practical, science-based approaches that support beavers in creating resilience for our human and wildlife communities.

Our initial priorities as an organization will be addressing policies, education, and coexistence.
