Beavers are a unique and important keystone species, having a great impact on the ecosystem.
International Beaver Day was created in 2009 by Beavers Wetlands & Wildlife. April 7 was chosen as the date for the holiday because it marks the birthday of Dorothy Richards (popularly known as the ‘Beaver Woman’) who was born in 1894. Richards engaged in the study of beavers for 50 years of her life.
