Free wildlife program about beavers in Matthews — Beer and Beavers: Dam Good Engineers!

Beavers don’t just build dams—they build entire ecosystems. Join Ruby Davis, Director of NC Wildlife Rehab and environmental scientist, for a fun, eye-opening look at how beavers improve wetlands, support wildlife, and occasionally drive humans a little nuts. You’ll learn why they matter and how we can peacefully coexist with nature’s best engineers.

With 15+ years as a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, a wildlife biology degree, and hands-on experience solving real-world beaver dilemmas, Ruby brings serious science—plus a sense of humor (her spirit animal is a skunk, after all). Expect smart insights, practical takeaways, and a newfound respect for those buck-toothed overachievers.
