Look at all these beavers on the Beaver creek!

🦫 Wetlands Wednesday

Have you ever wondered where Beavercreek got its name?

The answer goes back to the waterways that run through our community and the animals that once lived here in abundance.

Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek were named by early European settlers in the early 1800s because of the large and abundant beaver population living along the waterways. When Beavercreek Township was established in 1803, it took its name from Beaver Creek. The City of Beavercreek, incorporated in 1980, followed suit.

But what happened to all those beavers?

Like many wildlife species in Ohio, beavers were heavily impacted by the fur trade. Their thick, waterproof pelts were highly valued, along with their castoreum scent glands and meat. Intensive trapping eventually drove the species to extirpation, or local extinction, in Ohio by about 1830.

Fortunately, the story didn't end there. Beginning in the 1930s, beavers began returning to Ohio, and their populations have continued to recover.

Today, beavers continue to find habitat within the Beaver Creek wetlands corridor. And that's important because beavers don't just live in wetlands, they can actually help create and maintain them. By building dams, beavers slow flowing water, create ponds, and transform surrounding areas into wetland habitat that can benefit fish, amphibians, birds, insects, plants... pretty much the entire local ecosystem!

So when you see a beaver on a sign, a school logo, a business, or even a local nature preserve, remember: the beaver isn't just part of Beavercreek's name. It's part of the landscape itself. 🦫🌿

We've had some inquiries about beaver t-shirts. We've looked at Print on Demand and also at just ordering them printed and having them in the store. Given it's a multi-color image, it would be direct-to-transfer and the tees would run around $25.

Or we could order the transfers, and you can apply them at home on whatever t-shirt you like with a household iron and those would cost about $5. Also we can get this option into play quite a bit faster. These would be available in the bookstore and online.

Your thoughts?
