Travel into the distant past with engineer and river scientist Dr. Denise Burchsted who has studied natural river system and the way rivers behaved before Europeans arrived. What she has learned will surprise you, and yes, beavers were an important part of the picture. What was the landscape and streamscape of Westminster like in the days before the fur trade? Dr. Burchsted has mapped the town and will share her conception of what the watery world of Westminster was like long ago. Are there problems caused by the way we manage streams today? What might a future look like that accommodates the needs of people and natural rivers?
