Beavers are hardworking rodents known for building dams and lodges near water. They are the largest rodent in North America and can weigh up to 90 pounds. Beavers use strong orange teeth to cut trees and eat only plants. Baby beavers, called kits, can swim at birth. They live in family colonies and use their scaly tails for swimming, balance, and warning signals. Beavers can stay underwater for 15 minutes and have waterproof fur to help them thrive in wet habitats.

Composting is nature’s way of recycling living things into soil. Anything once living can break down into compost, which looks like dark, crumbly soil and smells like forest floor. You can make compost in a cup using organic scraps, soil, water, and sunlight. Mix the ingredients, cover the cup with plastic wrap, and place it outside. Add water and shake it every few days to help it break down. Over time, you’ll see your scraps turn into compost!
