The Umpqua Valley Audubon Society and the Roseburg Public Library will have a presentation on how beavers impact landscapes and improve habitats on Wednesday March 27th at 6:30 p.m.

A City release said the presenter Dr. Jeff Baldwin is an emeritus professor in the Department of Geography, Environment and Planning at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California. Baldwin will discuss how the beaver changes land and waterscapes, stream suitability for the rodent and their recolonization. He will end with an introduction to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s three-year action plan for beaver-modified landscapes.

The program will be held at the library on NE Diamond Lake Boulevard. It is free and open to the public. For more information, contact library staff at 492-7050 or at: library@cityofroseburg.org
