Spring Speaker Series #2: Feathers, Fur & Fins: Wildlife and Water Habitats

Presented by Chris Davis, park biologist at Gettysburg National Park.

Visitors to Gettysburg National Military Park come to connect with the profound American history and cultural heritage of one of the most pivotal battlefields of the Civil War. Beyond its historical significance, the park also showcases a uniquely diverse landscape, blending natural ecosystems and agricultural features that form a vital part of its historic character.

A noteworthy recent ecological development is the establishment of a beaver complex in Plum Run at the base of Little Round Top—one of the park’s most visited and historically significant landmarks.

Join park biologist Chris Davis for a discussion of the unique opportunities and challenges of managing dynamic ecosystem processes like beaver activity in a park that is defined by historic landscape preservation.
