People say unkind things about beavers: Stupid, destructive, smelly, and
destructive again. But Michael Runtz is coming out in defence of Canada’s iconic
creature, and the great things it does. Runtz, who teaches biology at Carleton
University and spends much of his life outdoors, will give a free presentation
on beavers Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Ottawa Public Library main auditorium, 120
Metcalfe St. Since he’s also a photographer and author of 11 books on the
natural world (mostly on this region), he’ll have a lot of pictures. via
