Journalist Leila Philip first became interested in beavers when she saw a group building a pond near her house. Her fascination led her to write her new book, Beaverland, which describes how this amazing oversized rodent has played an oversized role in American history—and how it can positively impact our future.
Come hear Leila talk about her book and all she has learned, including how we are beginning to appreciate beavers as ecosystem heroes and an ally against the catastrophes of climate change. "The movement to bring beavers back to North America has grown...since the book first went to press," she writes in a new afterword, where she lists recent legislation and lawsuits in support of beavers. "'Beaver believers' are moving from the fringe into the mainstream."
