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

MIKE DIGOUT: ANOTHER BEAVER RECRUIT


Our good friend Mike Digout of beaver fame in Saskatchewan was the subject of a fun podcast following urban wildlife. I’m sure you’ll want to listen in. He’s unbelievably good=natured and amiable. I can see why he and beavers get along.

The Beavers Who Live Downtown

The Environmental Urbanist

It’s funny, Mike makes me think  of a more wholesome version of our own Moses Silva who was himself an innocent bystander unintentionally hooked into filming our beavers in every conceivable circumstance for well over a decade. I’m told Moses was a pipefitter for Shell who knew nothing about beavers but just thought the tightly woven dam was fascinating and wanted to watch it unfold more closely. I believe early on he found his way to buying a used video camera from some local news reporter he met downtown. Like Mike the man has mountains and miles of footage stored away in some garage of file cabinet that we will never, ever see see.  Long before the famous November 7th meeting he was taking that footage to senior centers and sharing it with county workers and around the community.

It turns out you don’t have to be a photographer or an environmentalist to have a huge impact, Beavers just have a way of recruiting their champions. Good work, Mike.
