SUMMARY:Lunch Chat: The Secret Power of Beavers
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, beavers have been known for their ability to provide ecosystem services. By damming rivers and creating ponds\, beavers create new habitats for many plants and animals. In fact\, their engineering skills are so impressive that they are now being considered as a possible solution to climate change.  \nThat’s right; these furry little creatures could help save our ecosystems! Here’s how.\nIt’s no secret that California is facing a water crisis. With the state in the grips of a record-setting drought\, Californians are looking for ways to conserve water. But did you know that beavers can help solve our water woes?  \nBeavers are nature’s engineers. They are hard-working creatures that build dams\, which create ponds and wetlands. These ponds and wetlands help to store water\, slow the erosion of soils\, and filter out pollutants.  \nIn other words\, beavers help to improve water quality!\nNot only do beavers help to improve water quality\, but they also play an important role in recharging groundwater aquifers. When it rains\, the water seeps into the ground and is stored in aquifers. Aquifers are like underground sponges that store water and make it available for plants and animals to use during dry periods.  \nBeavers help to recharge groundwater aquifers by building their dams in strategic locations where they can trap runoff from rainfall events. This runoff would otherwise flow downstream and be lost to evaporation. \nWant to learn more about Beavers and how they can improve the health of our watershed? \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Sustainability Happy Hour and Recycling Center Tour
DESCRIPTION:Acterra’s Young Professionals Group is excited to co-host a virtual tour of the Shoreway Environmental Center\, in conjunction with RethinkWaste! Join us for a fascinating virtual tour of Shoreway’s recycling facility to get an inside look at how recyclables are sorted\, and how compost and garbage are consolidated in Shoreway’s newly upgraded Materials Recovery Facility. \nAfter the virtual tour\, we would love for you to hang around for a Zoom happy hour – this is a great opportunity to network and enjoy a cocktail with the Acterra Young Professionals Group. \nHandling our waste responsibly is one of the easiest ways that we can help conserve energy\, reduce air and water pollution\, reduce greenhouse gas emissions\, and conserve natural resources – we look forward to seeing you there! \nREGISTER HERE
