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

MONEY FOR BEAVERS AND YOUR STICKS FOR FREE


Yesteday’s interview was actually really fun and interesting. Did you know elephants are afraid of bees? Her foundation is working to teach people to use bee hives lines to control elephants and keep them away from crops. They get a lucrative career and elephants don’t get shot by farmers. Win win. I also had a very nice conversation with an old friend from Fish and Wildlife yesterday who is plenty interested in the idea of a California beaver summit. So that was excellent. He also said things are farther along on beaver reintroduction plans for the Mountain Maidu trip (near lassen) the Kurok tribe (Klamath).

Not to mention the drip drip drip of votes is going in a way that says hey democracy can stick around a little while longer. So that’s buoyed my mood.

Great news from New York this morning. Apparently a whole bunch of people are giving money for beaver ecology.

DEC Awards Mohawk River Watershed Grants to Prevent Flooding, Improve Habitat

Utica Zoological Society: Beavers, Wetlands and Watershed Protection ($54,868)

This project will design and implement a comprehensive water education program focusing on watershed protection and the role beaver ponds and wetlands play in flood control and creating healthy ecosystems. Programs will take place at the Utica Zoo’s Conservation Education Center, Beaversprite, in Oppenheim in Fulton County, and include family programs, arts integration camp, and resources and tools for local teachers.

Whoa. You mean they’re gonna get paid for doing what Worth A Dam has done for free for a decade? Sure. okay. Great idea. Let us know if you need any cool ideas about involving kids in learning about beaver ecology through art and activities okay? We might have a few ideas.
