Wow! Wisconsin just got a whole lot smarter about beavers. Bob Boucher’s study is making a major spash and I couldn’t be happier.
New Study Finds Beavers Could Be Key To Preventing Flooding On The Milwaukee River
Now, there are calls for beavers to return — not for their fur — but for the potential impact they could have on flood mitigation in the Milwaukee River watershed. A recent collaborative study between the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, Milwaukee Riverkeeper and UW-Milwaukee analyzed the prospect of increased beavers on the watershed.
GO LISTEN to the whole glorious thing, and remember that Wisconsin is usually soooo stupid about beavers they blow up dams to help fish AND think there are more beavers now than there used to be. Fantastic work Bob. Beaver hats off to you!
Here’s what I spent entirely too much time on yesterday. They lyrics just fit wayyy too well, It can’t be a coincidence. From “defending a COLONY” to ending with RISE UP. I know I’m very weird but if you listen to the sounds track and read my lyrics you’ll see they mostly scan. Beavers need their time on stage.
