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

EVER MINDFUL OF BEAVERS


Happy Valentine’s eve. I’ve been getting ready for a pod cast interview on Tuesday. I was contacted by Jeanne Rosenmeier, one of the hosts if Linksploration  at the beginning of the month to discuss the beavers in Martinez, how beavers in general could matter in the Bay Area and the way that they can mitigate the effects of Climate Change. The podcast drops once a month and is specifically dedicated to the Diablo Valley and the wider Bay Area which makes it kind of cool and locally specific.

Jeanne said she was encouraged to contact me because of the presentation I gave to Alameda Fisheries a while ago, which was a nice surprise. That had been a fairly frustrating talk to the mostly beaver-wary so I’m delighted to think something positive came out of it. After I listened to it I suggested she also invite Mitch Avalon, formerly a deputy supervisor at Flood Control and on the beaver subcommittee with me. Mitch has since grandfathered into a consultant from the county and started his own creek consulting business. He became somewhat of a believer in his own right I’d say over the years. He also has way more hydrological clout than I ever hope to muster so I’m thinking he will reach some ears I couldn’t.

Anyway that’s on Tuesday but it won’t air right away, I’ll let you know when it is ready to hear. For now we can all relax and imagine that someday the Bay Area will be ready for beavers instead of just ready to trap them. Along those lines, this was a nicely zen way to start my morning, and I’m hoping it warms yours too.
