Heading to Chicago on Friday Looking forward to exploring some of the wetlands of the Land Conservancy of McHenry County and then speaking to their community for International Beaver Day on Sunday.

Wow. A rather chilly, rainy April morning. Then word that Audible Editors have chosen Beaverland as this week's listen in their Weekly Sound off. Thank you Audible! And thank you to all who have chosen  Beaverland as part of their listening library.

International Beaver Day was founded to honor the work of Dorothy Burney Richards in founding one of the first beaver sanctuaries in the United States. I had so much fun researching her life and telling her story in Beaverland.

Such a great time in the Chicago area on Sunday giving a talk for the Land Conservancy of McHenry County. Thank you to everyone I met while out there for your warmth and hospitality and for all the great work you are doing for the environment and beavers in the Midwest.

Last month I had such an interesting time talking with Stefan van Norden, the host of Nature Revisited – a podcast dedicated to exploring our relationships to the natural world. Our conversation aired on April 2. To catch my interview, the link is noordenproductions.com/nature-revisit…

This Saturday I will be giving a talk about beavers and the New York Harbor at the South Street Seaport. My talk will be on board the Wavertree. I can’t wait. 2 PM. Free and open to the public. Come join us at this incredible museum overlooking the harbor.

On my way to the Watershed Institute tonight in Penington, NJ. I’ll stop in Princeton to remember being class of ‘86, then we’ll hike out to see some beavers in the watershed before my talk. Excited to meet the community working to preserve the watershed. Please join us at 6 PM!

One week ago, we were all looking at the eclipse, and what an amazing moment it was! Here's an image taken by my son who saw it in Brooklyn, NYC.  I'm headed to Vermont this Thursday and looking forward to an event organized by Vermont Land Trust. April 18th.

Nice display up in the Pierson library in the Shelburne Town Hall for Earth Week -- check out the beaver track! Looking forward to driving up to Vermont for my talk this Thursday. Please consider joining us if you are in the area.

A wonderful time at the South Street Seaport on Saturday. Gave my talk a few blocks from where John Jacob Astor would have made his start trading beaver pelts. Beaverland's editor came to hear my talk which was so great and we took fun pictures. Home to daffodils!

An incredible evening in Sherburne, VT this past Thursday, hosted by the Vt Land Trust. A special thank you to the many libraries who hosted readings of Beaverland, the Vt Land Trust, the Flying Pig bookstore, and Phoebe Maciejowski, the talented artist who made the great sign.

Happy EARTH DAY. I want to share an exciting podcast created by physicist Alpha Lo – the Climate Water Project. Here is our conversation published on April 18th. climatewaterproject.substack.com/p/beaverland-i…

Happy to share that in support of Earth Month, there is a special E-book deal for Beaverland. If you know anyone who wants an ebook version, this is a good sale!

Miami Beach! Palm trees and white sand. But the best part was yesterday morning when I joined a group of ocean free swimmers. We swam out past the far white tower. So exciting to be rolling around in the waves swimming buoy to buoy.

Thrilled to share this announcement. Sarah Wroblewski from CBS Boston spent an afternoon with me tromping through the amazing beaver wetlands of Woodstock where the book begins.

Thank you to the Worcester Ecotarium and to fellow panel members Thomas Lauzenheiser, Senator Mike Moore, Bruce Curliss, and everyone who joined us for a great conversation this past Saturday about wetlands and the critical role beavers play in wetland creation and restoration.

Garth's show at Fundación Calosa, an incredible gallery and art foundation in Irapuato, Mexico opened on May 4th. A brilliant job by UK curator Sam Cornish, who traveled from London to curate the show. So amazing to watch it all come together and visit this amazing area of Mexico

On our way to Guadalajara to see the unveiling of Garth's new public sculpture "Party Piece"! and an Exhibition of photographs and music titled Calle "Streets" about Mexico's problem with street dogs. En route, I kept looking for signs of a river system but didn't see much.

An amazing evening in Guadalajara at La Perla, in the city's downtown area with a cool new gallery space. Garth's sculpture "Party Piece" overlooks the entrance. We all had a lot of fun at the opening of Calle, with photos by Muriel Cayon and music by her brother, Salvatore.

Happy Monday. A friend ran a drone over the beaver pond and the pictures are stunning. You can see how much the dam has grown, with a lodge of some type in the middle. On Sunday evening I saw 2 beavers swimming back and forth, and one gave me a hearty tail slap.
