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

A FISH FESTIVAL FOR BEAVERS?


One of the very first things that our friends at Sierra Wildlife Coalition got involved with was the ironic situation at Taylor Creek where the forest service would rip out the beaver dams every year because the animals ‘weren’t native” and they got in the way of the Kokanee salmon which were truly introduced. They went round and round and round with the fine folks at Taylor creek, installing flow devices and wrapping trees. The publication of the history papers did a little to help convince them that beavers belonged and Sherry and Ted’s plucky persistence did the rest. Continued flow device adjustments are now tweaked by Toogee Sielsch who has valiantly stepped up to fill Ted’s shoes er, waders.

It’s good to see things have reached a kind of rapprochement.

Gosh don’t you wish you could see an underwater beaver swim by that observation window? Maybe someday, if we’re lucky.

Thanks Heidi – we’re just doing whatever we can, but could not be doing any of it without Toogee’s help
