Polish Nature Mindfully: The Beavers of Mewia Łacha

Castor fiber – euroasian beaver, the biggest rodent in Poland. If you would like to learn more about these fascinating animals, you are welcome to join this nature walk in Mewia Łacha, a reserve which offers an amazing variety of observations, depending on the season. During the walk, we have a chance of seeing beavers and traces of their presence in the area.
You will also learn:

• how beaver's body has adjusted to living in the water
• what is beavers' tail like and why
• what peculiar habits beavers have
• how beavers build their dames
• what are beavers homes like
• why beavers chop so many trees
• how beavers affect the environment
• and much more :)

You can get to the meeting point either by car (there's a carpark there) or by bus 112.

- comfy shoes
- clothes suitable for the weather: if it rains, take waterproof jacket with you, and please no umbrellas!
- binoculars will come in handy, but if you don't own it, I will have two to share between the group :)

About me: My name is Dorota Boroszko and I am nature lover, nature photographer, traveller, hiking guide and English and Spanish teacher. I’ve been spending most of my free time in nature since I was a child, observing it, learning about and growing in it. It runs in my family, too. Not only is the forest a place for a deep relaxation for me, it is also a place where I am able to reencounter with my real self, my essence and integrity (after a long day with preschoolers). I have been dedicated to my facebook photogarphy page: Wild&Free – Dorota Boroszko Nature Photography for a couple of years.
