Join us for a reception with free food and drink, exhibits, and a book signing with Ben Goldfarb for his book “Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter”, followed by a talk and panel discussion with Ben Goldfarb and special guests.

Ben will discuss the history and biology of this world-changing species; how beavers can help us fight drought, flooding, wildfire, and climate change; and how we can coexists with this challenging but vital rodent.

Ben Goldfarb is an environmental journalist whose work has appeared in National Geographic, the Atlantic, Smithsonian Magazine, and many other publications. He is the author of Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping the Future of Our Planet, named one of the best books of 2023 by the New York Times and recipient of the Sierra Club’s Rachel Carson Award, and Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter, winner of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. He lives in Colorado with his wife, Elise, and his dog, Kit — which is, of course, what you call a baby beaver.
