Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Day: April 9, 2021


It was the best of times and it was the worst of times.

Wednesday was the most amazing beaver summit ever but I’m still struggling to get the recording online. A total of one presentation is accessible – a good one – but still. I want it ALL. I am begging for tech support at the moment and we’ll see if I still have any compelling qualities left.

I was so tired yesterday after wednesday’s beaver extravaganza – and my eyes felt like they hadn’t blinked all wednesday. I guess that comes from paying too much attention. Must set a timer to remind myself to blink today. But at least we made the news,

Beavers can help fight drought and fire say Central Coast experts at CA Beaver Summit

Apr 7, 2021

 

April 7 is International Beaver Day and the San Luis Obispo Beaver Brigade is celebrating this year by participating in the first free, virtual California Beaver Summit.

Audrey Taub is the founder of the SLO Beaver Brigade, a beaver advocacy group that is participating in the California Beaver Summit April 7 and April 9.

The purpose of the summit is to educate the public about the benefits beavers bring to the environment.

Dr. Emily Fairfax is an assistant professor of environmental science and resource management at California State University (CSU) Channel Islands. She will speak at the summit on April 9.

Fairfax does research about how beaver activity can create drought-resistant and fire-resistant patches of wetland that help restore groundwater and combat the effects of climate change.

I’m thinking that of the thousand people who registered we should have most of them for Emily’s talk. God willing we can finally get the whole thing online.

So maybe you can see it too.
