: Pine martens have a strong bone and muscle structure, which enables them to have powerful limbs for climbing branches and up the sides of trees. Their bushy tails allow them to balance while their claws help them climb and make dens.

Autumn is a busy time for the beaver, who build their lodges within the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence watershed. As the days get shorter and the nights grow colder, Amik (beaver in Anishinaabemowin) begins to gather caches of wood underwater for winter grazing that will be accessible from their lodge once the ice forms. Their favoured foods are birch, beech, poplar, alder, aspen and maple trees, as well as the buds and roots of water lilies and cattails.

Beavers are preparing to spend the winter beneath the ice cover, where they will mostly eat and mate, able to come and go from their lodge through underwater entrances, with a dry space inside that is well insulated. Despite being adept at cold water immersions, beavers like it hot! The interior of a beavers lodge can reach as hot as 32 degrees celsius even when it’s cold outside.

Beavers are considered a keystone species. As landscape engineers, they contribute to the shaping of the watershed by building dams, creating watercourses and wetlands that sequester carbon and improve water quality while also providing habitat for biodiversity.

: David Mearns is an author, marine scientist and world-renowned shipwreck hunter. David's career highlights include the discovery of 26 major shipwrecks - with the most recent being Quest, Sir Ernest Shackleton's final ship.

On Nov. 6, Mearns was recognized with two Royal Canadian Geographical Society honours: the Capt. Joseph-Elzéar Bernier Medal, named for a great Arctic navigator of the early 20th century, and the Quest Medal, a special medal struck to honour the participants in and supporters of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society's 2024 Shackleton Quest Expedition.
