Beaver Moon - Full Moon on Thursday 10th November

(Beaver Moon)

 

Full Moon on Thursday 10th November 2011 GMT 7.18pm

 

This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. It is sometimes also referred to as the Frosty Moon.
