*** About the Beaver: Beavers are fascinating creatures known for their natural engineering abilities. As one of the largest rodents in the world, they play a crucial role in their ecosystems by building dams, which create wetlands that support biodiversity and help maintain water quality. The North American beaver, depicted in this artwork, is emblematic of enduring environmental stewardship and adaptability, often symbolizing the Canadian wilderness due to their significant impact on forest and aquatic life. Known for their strong family bonds, beavers like the mother and kit shown, emphasize the themes of home and community in nature.
