The only beaver news today is that the stupid article from HCN ran on Wired and Verve so that everyone can have the chance to blame beavers for climate change. Nice. People often feel so helpless to stop it but just about anyone can kill a beaver, so that must offer hope to the situation.
Grr.
All is not lost though, because this excellent talk by Jen Vanderhoof, senior ecologist of Kings County and president of Beavers Northwest just appeared on and it’s a wondeful walk through beaver wonders with a true expert. If you have an extra ten minutes I would stay to hear the questions from the audience. It’s Washington and they are already SO SMART and ecologically savvy. I know you will enjoy this. She also says she is working on a beaver handbook which will come out this summer. Stay tuned!
