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

Amongst Royalty


So the Beaver Believers film crew went out live trapping with Sherri Tippie two nights ago and were rewarded with a mom, dad, and two kits for their efforts. Not to mention some excellent footage and very fine conversation, I bet.1011393_198095830351460_1058026479_n

“Waist deep in a stinky, skanky pond in urban Aurora, Colorado, filming a live trapping effort to relocate a beaver family to a happier home in Glacier National Park.”

What an exciting couple of days will be! – culminating in a release! If Sherri doesn’t inspire every one of you, you’d better visit the cardiologist very soon and check if your hearts aren’t made of stone. When I heard her speak I sat in the audience the whole time weeping, I was so happy. Not that I got to see her, not that I was invited to the same conference as her  – but just that she existed.  I can’t help thinking that coming to Martinez after all that excitement might be a bit of a let-down….but come anyway.

Which reminds me…with apologies to Mother Theresa…

 
If you are kind to beavers, people in your city might get mad at you;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful at saving beavers, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest about beavers and frank about solving problems, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What beavers spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Let them build anyway.
If you are happy with your website and celebrate in festival, people may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good for beavers you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have for beavers, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
 
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you beavers;
It was never between you and them anyway.
