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

Day: October 31, 2024


While California pats itself on the back for changing its policy and reintroducing two beaver families, Project Beaver in Oregon has been quietly marching forward. Yesterday Jakob Shockey and his merry band released a manual for protecting trees and shrubs that is truly a white paper worth sharing.

Beavers are famous for cutting down trees and shrubs, a persistent behavior that often frustrates humans who have planted special trees or crops near beaver habitat. Beavers find many of the annual crops we grow tasty, like corn and beets, and can eat a large area down over the course of a season. Trees and shrubs that are native to  waterways in the Northern Hemisphere have a long history with beavers and will re-sprout after being cut.

Make sure you tell all of your friends about it. Beavers eating trees and crops is the number one reason given why beaver depredation permits are sought. It is also the easiest problem to fix with the right resources.
