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

Beavers See Green


The startlingly atypical radio hour talking about the role of beavers in the watershed of one little Northern California Community got some nice attention. I thought I would share a little with you this morning, so that we could all bask in the well-received delivery of this particular bit of beaver gospel. It’s a nice reminder that fellow beaver supporters have become friends after 2+ years of contact, and sometimes old friends have in turn become beaver supporters!

Great finish – getting in that plug about the effect on salmon.  If anything will engender support, that will be it.  You came across cool, calm, competent and most sympatico.  It’s 3:04AM.  I’m going back to bed.  Great to hear your voice. William Hughes-Games New Zealand

Great to hear you on the radio! I didn’t know that beavers can help restore salmon habitat, and was delighted to learn this.  I also didn’t know that there are other beaver groups so close by “our” group.  You sounded very cool and knowledgeable, but you probably knew that too.  Good job!

I listed to your radio talk show and liked the way you were performing your efforts – without showing any anger towards the city officials. What you wrote afterwards on your blog meets it best :Encouraging listeners to sustain beaver families looking forward to smart solutons of what appeared unsolvable at first sight. Carry on! Alex Hiller Frankfurt Germany

Well done! Mark Ross Martinez

You should have a radio show!  Nice strong, clear smart!  Great laugh…perfect!  It’s amazing you are clear and strong…you are doing a great great job.  Expert…talking about the history of beavers and how streams are affected and then tying it into warming.  Great plug for Worth a Dam and your blog!  You just went on a break.  Sensational job!  Can’t wait for the next portion. PJ Tampa Florida

wow he really spent time with you and brought out some great issues and I hope you get some more national attention as biodiversity should be our number one goal to a sustainable future, great job Heidi I am going to send this to a couple of the Native Bird gals as it is worth listening to …take care Diana Granados The Native Bird Connection

You did such a great job! How fun. You sounded clear, smart, calm and fun. I also loved it when you laughed—made me giggle out loud. A great show and a great job. You should be proud. I loved the story about the farm land and the plug for the salmon that was very cool. And didn’t know that two kits have launched. Wondered what happens to them etc., glad that they are on their “way to college”… loved how people comment on the beavers when you are presenting the research you did too.EBG Psychologist Lafayette

Very nice downtown Mtz plug!
Thanks for sharing. Leanne Peterson

That was cool….  (but we all know, that the Chair of Friends Of Alhambra Creekis Shirley, not I:-)  No worries – this is not causing any marital strife. Cheers,Igor Skaredoff
nice job!!!!! Lisa Owens Viani, SFEP
Congratulations on a stellar performance. I managed to listen to you on the radio live!  we listened to your interview in the garden with a nice cup of tea. How cool is that? I have to say you were a natural, very cool and assured and knowledgeable, brilliant!I was filling Jo in on some of the beaver tales and was astonished at how much beaver knowledge I have gleaned just from your web site. From how flow devices work to water tables, and what a keystone species can do for a once littered little creek and cute mink families getting in on the action and bogus burrowing rumours and how the beaver family have stuck with Martinez through sheetpile upon sheetpile – well, what an amazing educational tool your site has been. The one thing Jo had trouble understanding was the actions of the council…how could they not see the benefits??? Hmmm. MBG Kent UK

you came across really well on the audio! Calm, confident, informative, reasonable. Very well done! The host was good too. Obviously a like minded soul.Great job, Mike Callahan Beaver Solutions, MA

Oh and this one, which just came this morning.

Thanks so much for appearing on Living Green Radio! I really appreciate it! It was an incredible segment.I have a Green Special we air each month for another network and I would love to invite you back to talk on that show. The next show is Monday, September 21st at 8am for one hour.  Can you do it?

The morning after my birthday? I’m supposed to be in Mendocino staring blankly at the ocean as I contemplate what it means to have made it another year. Hmm…I guess they have phones in Mendocino…it’s not impossible, and I guess I could let the beavers give me one more present.
