Introduction part for the "Lechfan Passport" (4-part school programme)
30 kg heavy, 130 cm long and the best animal builder! It's me, Castor fiber - the European beaver! I disappeared in Tyrol for about 180 years. Now I am back - in more than 100 hunting grounds all over Tyrol!
Programme
Ideally, experiential education consists of an indoor module and an excursion. Ideally, there should be 1-2 weeks between the two events. The programme is designed to teach interesting facts about the beaver in a playful way.
First, we bring the life of this fascinating rodent into the classroom with extensive educational materials.
During the excursion into the beaver's territory we can then find numerous traces of the beaver, for example burrows, dams, food rafts, feeding traces or footprints - but the beaver itself sleeps during the day... shhh!
Ideal seasons
To visit the beaver territories, late autumn and late winter or early spring are the best times. At these times, the tracks are more easily visible, as the riparian vegetation along the water bodies is in vegetation dormancy.
Ideal locations:
(beaver territories) can be found in the district of Reutte, especially on the Loisach in the Ehrwald basin (protected area), on the Vils in the area of the municipality of Vils (protected area) or on the Lech, especially in the Reutten basin (protected area).
