'All About Beavers' - Caverns summer speakers series

Press release

Montana State Parks and Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park will host the free online event “All About Beavers” Friday at 8 p.m. via Zoom.

People can join Riley Bell as he presents “All About Beavers,” a program discussing the intricacies of life as a beaver. This talk marks the first presentation in Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park’s annual Friday Summer Speakers Series for 2020. Bell will speak about his experiences working with Montana beavers and how they fit — not so neatly — into their ecosystems. From their fur to their homes, listeners will leave this talk with a newfound sense of wonder about these unique creatures.

Bell has worked for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks since 2017. He graduated from the University of Minnesota Crookston in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in natural resources. He has worked in the fur industry for six years. Bell has had an interest in beavers and their behavior for a long time and has a passion for studying them and learning all about them.
