Definition
In ‘Beaver’s From Above’ we follow an intrepid team of scientists, 4K
environmentalists, and northern trail-blazers in the wilds of North-west
Alaska and then to the shores of the Arctic Ocean in Canada’s Northwest
Territories. They’ll be riding in 4x4s to remote locations, jumping into
choppers for aerial surveys, travelling by boat to explore critical
waterways, donning chest-waders to take water samples, flying drones,
hiking across spongy, challenging tundra terrain, and exploring massive
beaver works in a quest for answers to some big questions surrounding
this invasion.
