Dam It! Beavers and Why They are Dam Important
Greenwich Free Library
Washington County
Joseph Sendzik will offer the talk “Dam It! Beavers and Why They Are Dam Important,” on two dates:
• Wednesday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m. at the Greenwich Free Library in Washington County as SAAS’s monthly public program, and
• Saturday, May 11 at 11:00 a.m. at Caldwell-Lake George Library in Lake George Village.
The presentation covers the historical importance of beavers and the fur trade; beaver behavior, habitats, and the natural history of the beaver; and beaver-human conflicts and conflict resolution.
Sendzik is the Trail Maintenance Chair for the Albany Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club. He enjoys hiking, trail running, swimming, and paddling in the Adirondacks. He has a passion for learning about wildlife and local history and sharing that passion with others.
Bird Talk! is a 5-minute long bird spotlight show, which hits home with our motto, “Conservation Through Education.” You can listen to Joy, WEQX’s resident birder & gardener, every week for great music, and fun facts on the featured bird of the week every Thursday at 11:30am!
