​Day 10 — Great Lakes Odyssey 2 at Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Today was all about beavers!

We spent time with Rangers Mariamar and Grant traveling through the park, exploring wetlands, streams, and quiet corners where beavers have been hard at work. Everywhere we turned, there were signs of their impact—dams slowing the flow of water, lodges tucked along the edges, and trees marked with those unmistakable chew patterns.

We captured some incredible b-roll that tells the story of what beavers do for the environment—creating wetlands, improving water quality, and building habitats for other species. But we also saw where their work creates challenges—flooded trails, altered waterways, and moments where natural systems and human systems don’t always align. A little beaver mischief along the way.

That balance is what makes this story so meaningful. Beavers are constantly shaping the landscape—sometimes in ways that help, sometimes in ways that challenge—but always in ways that matter.

We can’t wait to bring this story to life tomorrow during our FINAL Great Lakes Odyssey 2 LiveStream.

It’s going to be a special way to wrap up this journey.
