Yesterday our good friend Janet Thew forwarded the “Giving Tuesday” request she received from the Wetlands Conservancy. If you’ll remember, they’re the group in Oregon that brought me to Portland in 2015 to speak about what we did in Martinez, and organized the huge art exhibit this year that traveled the state. They are still working hard on behalf of beavers. Here’s how you can help:
Who doesn’t want to give to beavers? Click on the image to go to their giving page. The Wetlands Society works hard to make a difference and keep the value of beavers on everyone’s mind. And the beavers they support of course work hard for all the wildlife and streams in Oregon. It’s a pretty smart investment in the future of the planet to support them.
(Of course we’re helping beavers too and we’d send you a poster. :-))
Just one state over, I got a note from Sara Aycock yesterday about the work her dad is doing with the local environmental education facility in Idaho. You’ll remember Sara because she’s the one who donated those wonderful Victorian animal prints last year for the silent auction as part of the release of her first detective novel about Mr. Beaverton. Remember?
Now the Nature center is one of those places with an underwater viewing station so you can see the salmon or what have you, and it recently was visited by a beaver! Her Dad is working hard talking to the staff about how important beaver are to the landscape and she says pretty much everyone is trying to help that beaver out.
The center is very interested in wildlife and uses those wildlife cameras to find what’s happening in and around the facility. This is the bold adventure of a hungry and ambitious mink they caught recently that I thought you would enjoy.
I can’t wait to see some underwater footage of that beaver!
