Today on Walden Wednesday we continue reading Enos Mills’ classic, Wild Life On the Rockies.
Mills was a huge nature lover and nature guide who lived in the late 1880’s, early 1900’s. He wrote his experiences and observations of the West, and mostly about his beloved Rocky Mountains. I love the chapter we are visiting today called, “The Beaver and His Works”. Here, Enos points out the antics, and importance of the beaver, a keystone species that supports the entire biological community. Without this industrious creature, our streams, rivers and landscapes erode and dry up, leaving an ugly, dry, barren land. Something to chew on for sure. Dam straight. Beaver dam that is!
So sit back here by the stream and enjoy, “The Beaver and His Works” from Wild Life on the Rockies, by Enos Mills.
