Nocturnal Tour: International Beaver Day
2026-04-07 18:00 - 19:30
Celebrate International Beaver Day with a one-of-a-kind nocturnal tour at Osage Park, timed perfectly for dusk when our most elusive residents begin to stir. Led by Osage Park’s expert site managers, this guided evening walk highlights the incredible beavers who call the park home; often unseen during the day, but essential to the health of our wetlands!
As true ecosystem engineers, beavers shape waterways, create habitat for countless species, and help improve water quality across the park. During this special tour, you’ll explore their active areas, learn how their work supports biodiversity, and gain a deeper appreciation for the outsized impact these animals have on our landscape. As the sun sets, listen for movement along the water, watch for signs of activity, and experience Osage Park through the eyes of the wildlife that thrives after dark!
