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

A PICTURE’S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS


This morning there are three items of interest. Two great photos and a reminder of what’ve beavers mean to salmon. Let’s start with cute.

I don’t know about you, but is I had to pick one animal to dedicate my life too, it would be THIS cute exactly. And if I got to chose who’s on my team, I’d pick Sherri first. Wouldn’t you?

Sherri is getting her well-deserved run of fame with the airing of Sarah’s film. And it couldn’t happen to a nicer girl. This photo appeared in a review in whoa magazine’s crush Wednesday. Awwww. I gotta crush on you too!

Now onto serious salmon-saving matters.

Increased Protections Sought For Coho Salmon In Oregon Coastal Rivers

Twenty environmental groups are calling on Oregon to protect imperiled coho salmon with more restrictions on logging and roadbuilding in coastal forests.

The groups delivered a rule-making petition Wednesday to the Oregon Board of Forestry. It calls for designated “resource sites” for coho salmon on state and private forestlands.

Sounds important! Gee I wonder what they could do to help salmon?

In their petition, environmental and fishing groups say these activities have degraded water quality, blocked fish passage and led to the loss of favorable habitat, such as rivers with large #wood debris, deep pools, and connections to off-channel waters that rearing salmon need, such as beaver ponds, lakes and wetlands.

Save the beavers, save the salmon! We know that. Let’s hope the message gets a little broader delivery in the coming months!

Now on to a wonderful photo from one of our favorite beaver photographers taken in. Vienna, by Leopoldo Kanzler in Nature Highlights.
