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

BEAVER FRIENDS IN SWAN VALLEY


I first made acquaintance with Ben Goldfarb and Rob Rich about the same time in late 2016 so in my mind they are kind of linked; like eco-wisdom salt and pepper shakers. They were both writing then for the High Country News, and had both contacted me through the website to indicate their appreciation of the constant beaver writing. I remember it startled me at the time because I frequently like to reassure myself with the notion that nobody really reads this website, or sees the many typos, malapropriations and word mishaps.

Ben, as you know, left HCN in order to write a EAGER, and Rob left and took a position as a Conservation and Education associate with Swan Valley Connections in Montana where he maintains his beaver-forward thinking and has kept in touch.

Now he is thrilled that Swan Valley actually has some nesting swans for the first time in many years and he has continued to share the beaver Gospel in Montana. He was excited to note that his co-worker was able to help him make this excellent film which I believe we are all going to enjoy. I’m especially excited that it taught me a new word. See if you can spot what it was.

Plus there is a fun outtakes section at the end of the film which will make you smile. Enjoy!
