San Luis Obispo Beaver Festival

San Luis Obispo Beaver Festival
Come learn about beavers, the world's best engineers! Beavers are native to our county and build dams in our rivers and streams. These dams slow the water down, spread it across the landscape, and allow it to sink into the groundwater table. These dams turn single-thread streams into lush wetlands, full of life, offering solutions to pressing problems such as climate change, wildfire, drought, and water quality in our creeks, rivers, bays, and oceans.
A celebration of beavers through music, beaver experts, family-friendly activities, and food! Keynote speaker Molly Alves from California Department of Fish & Wildlife, music by Cuyama Mama & the Hot Flashes. Local and statewide organizations will be present to share materials about their efforts to protect the environment and celebrate our biodiversity.
