Our friends at the Scott River Watershed Council have a swanky new website with a whole section dedicated to their important work with beavers called “Water, Beavers & Fish”. They are the shining beaver light in upper California. Go check it out and make them feel welcome!
Yesterday Ray Cirino the muralist from Ojai posted an adorable video on FB of a child explaining why beavers matter and I just had to siphon off what turned out to be Matt Powers awesome audio of young Oliver to make this. It was made three years ago so I’m guessing he’s into space travel or sport cars now but this is wonderful to see. Turn your volume up and enjoy.
He has probably grown out of it by now, though I of course have not.
