Julianna van Adrichem, Founder, Beavers Canada, Co-President, Nature Guelph
–
Join Julianna Van Adrichem for an exciting discussion about the remarkable capacity of beavers to solve many of our society’s challenges simultaneously and for free! Often misunderstood as nuisances, beavers are in fact powerful ecosystem restoration experts, and the wetlands they create do far more than meets the eye. They support biodiversity, stop wildfires, resist drought, recharge our aquifers, and mitigate climate change. She will share how working with beavers can lead to better outcomes for our communities and should be a key aspect of climate resiliency.
