Beavers are important actors in establishing new habitats and transforming water surfaces. Their creativity and interaction with the environment not only shape unique ecosystems but also offer valuable opportunities for children's exploration and perception of nature. Children who encounter beavers and their impact on the environment can develop respect for nature and understanding of ecosystems, which enriches their experience of the world around them. This is precisely why it is so important that they become aware of the importance of protecting beavers at an early age. For this purpose, I conducted a practical workshop with children aged 6 to 10, with the aim of learning about the biology of the beaver, its habitat, and its importance for the ecosystem, while at the same time drawing attention to the frequent destruction of beaver habitats due to ignorance and misunderstanding. I collected the data through a questionnaire that the children filled out at the beginning and end of the workshop, practical work in the field near the beaver farm, and the final product that the children produced at the end of the workshop as a demonstration of their newly acquired knowledge. Through the drawings of the beaver, its habitat, and the associations the students had with the word beaver, I checked the knowledge of this endangered animal species. In the case of the observed sample, it turned out that the practical workshop with outside classroom brought more extensive and in-depth knowledge about the beaver, and the final product proved that the children see the positive meaning and influence of the beaver in the environment and the possibility of coexistence between man and this animal despite some challenges. Such workshop can also be useful for other primary schools located near beaver dam.
