Bringing Up Beaver with John Aberth

John Aberth, a licensed volunteer wildlife rehabilitator, will present on his book, Bringing Up Beaver, about his raising and release of an orphaned beaver kit. On May 10, 2020, a beaver kit—BK—was found in St. Albans, Vermont and handed over to John Aberth, a rehabilitator who specializes in beaver. Over the next two years, John raised BK and prepared him for release back into the wild. During that time, John and BK developed a special and unique bond, which John documented in a daily diary. That diary became the basis for Bringing Up Beaver, a lively and engaging account of one human’s relationship with a wild animal. This presentation will use both video and photos to augment and flesh out BK’s story as told in Bringing Up Beaver.
