It's what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner: Bark, sticks, and twigs. During winter, #beaver visit their submerged food caches to retrieve fodder. These complex stick piles can be habitat for aquatic animals. Ever resourceful, leftovers can be used for lodge+dam renovations!

We all know, as the weather gets colder squirrels start to cash food for winter. This includes mushrooms! In order to keep the mushrooms from going bad they will prop them up and dry them. Keeping them fresh all winter long! #MushroomMonth
