Natural Engineer

Don Begg

This life-size 'natural engineer' goes about his work without noticing the many people who pass by on their way to the Municipal Building Parkade.

About this work

Made by Cochrane-based sculptor Don Begg, this naturalistic bronze beaver is situated only a few blocks away from the Bow and Elbow Rivers. Although these rivers flow through the heart of an urban centre, they are also the home of many creatures, including beavers.
