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

Category: Beavers


Hey do you remember that awesome beaver habitat that was just across the water from Martinez and in the news this week? Well  you’ll never guess what Virginia Holsworth filmed yesterday in the creek by her house. Hold onto your hats.

Ahh there are three very important things you should know about today. The first is that the department of  California Natural Resources received our comments and Ivana Rosas wrote back last night.

“Dear Heidi and partners, Thank you for your comments related to the Draft Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy. The State is reviewing all comments received as they work to finalize the strategy.Thanks – Ivana Outreach Team”

Fingers crossed they are encouraged by what they read!

The second thing is that I’m giving a beaver talk today for Sonoma Sirs. Apparently there are several city council members in the club, so I am sure to be popular. (more…)


Well this is a head-scratcher. I am trying to imagine what on earth would make a man say beavers haven’t been present since 5000 years ago and I’m drawing a blank. It’s worse than California saying there were  never beavers at all. It’s just dumbfounding.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes when people have broken things beyond repair and pretty much given up on making them right they are willing to magnanimously allow the hated stepchild to try fixing them? I don’t mean actual stepchild of course, I mean the thing that nobody trusted or appreciated before is suddenly handed the keys to the burning castle and told “knock yourself our”. Maybe it’s your teen age son who insists he can handle it by himself and them suddenly at two in the morning wakes up mom for help. Or maybe it’s your boss who never lets you give presentations because he believes Jake is better at them, but one afternoon he finds out that Jake is stealing piles of toner from the printer room and the boss gets so mad he lets you try to give the talk instead. It happens all the time with republicans and the economy who once in a while give a democratic president a chance to fix the hole they’ve dug America into. (more…)


I was thinking this morning. You know what our politicians and bureaucrats really need? They need a nice simple explanation of all the good things beavers can do for them in language so simple a child could understand it. Hey we’re in luck! Because Suzanne Fouty just recorded a talk for Families for Climate. I think she does a super job. What do you think? (more…)
