WWF cour­se - In the king­dom of the bea­vers

Freshly peeled pieces of wood and felled trees: In winter, the beaver leaves clearly visible traces. Follow his trail along the Thur. On this two and a half hour circular hike, young and old will learn why the beaver can be compared to a woodcutter and how the beaver lives in its burrow. Using different beaver tracks on the WWF St.Gallen beaver trail, you will learn about its social behavior and lifestyle. What different functions does the trowel (the beaver's tail) perform? What is castoreum and why was it so popular? On this excursion you will learn why this shy animal is endangered and why it was almost extinct a few years ago. With a lot of luck, a beaver dam might be discovered. Management: Monika Bartholdi School visitor WWF For whom: adults, families This event is suitable for people aged 5 and over.
