MEEKER | In the community room of the Meeker Public Library — where crafts, meetings and book clubs usually gather — a new guest has moved in: a full-sized beaver lodge.
Built entirely from a wire understructure, chicken wire and woven willow sticks of different sizes, the lodge features a carefully crafted dome effect that has captured the attention of wide-eyed visitors. The structure has sparked conversations about wetlands, wildlife and the wonders of nature.
