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

Day: February 18, 2023


There’s grand news this morning about the grant awards from the Coastal Commission Whale Tale license plate sales. Guess who earned a slice of the pie? I’ll give you a hint. They make the water that enters the sea cleaner and they make more salmon so all those hungry orcas have something tasty to eat.

Coastal Commission Awards $2 Million in Whale Tail Grants

SAN FRANCISCO, February 17, 2023.  On Wednesday, February 8, the California Coastal Commission approved 56 Whale Tail Grant applications totaling more than $2 million to non-profit organizations, community groups, and schools for projects and programs that provide educational experiences focused on coastal protection, public access, and environmental justice.

SLO Beaver Brigade/Ecologistics, $41,480

Project Title: Beaver Education in SLO County Engaging Communities in: San Luis Obispo County Project Timeline: March 2023 – March 2025

Twice-monthly experiential tours to beaver wetlands, including Spanish language and wheelchair accessible tours; monthly river and creek cleanups; new educational interpretive panels and a mural; and Spanish-translated educational materials will engage and educate the local community about the environmental and climate benefits of beavers and the connection of local waterways to the ocean

WHOO HOOO! Isn’t that wonderful? I honestly never thought about the costal commission as a possible grant source, but it’s all watershed eventually! Congratulations to our friends in San Luis Obispo who have made all this possible, and are as we speak working on a first beaver festival of their very own!
