Some day, when California’s beaver policy is so well crafted and skillfully implemented that even the state of Washington looks at our borders with envy, when our rivers and streams are meandering with desilted channels and lovingly restored from Fresno to Truckee, when our bumper crops rely securely on higher watertables and our delta-drainage battles are a distant memory, when even our toxins and mercury from past mistakes are trapped and sequestered in millions of dams across the state – when that day comes, remember this meeting, where it all started – or rather where it all finished starting and actually “began“.
And these are the folk who helped make it happen.
