Another great beaver interview from Oregon Public Radio. This time with the dynamic geomorphologist, Suzanne Fouty.

Beavers Can Boost Water Supply

Suzanne recently gave a talk to the Deschutes Land Trust in Bend Oregon, which does incredible work and may be guest posting soon.  Obviously OPB tracker her down in the process.  She wasn’t entirely thrilled with this interview and thought that many of the best things she said wound up on the cutting room floor. Of course we know how that feels,  but this interview is perfect. She’s silly. (Just so you remember how much fun Suzanne is in person here we are with a bottle of wine after the State of the Beaver Conference this year.)

I sent out a press release yesterday for the tree planting project that’s going to happening next Friday along Alhambra Creek, thanks to the California Conservation Core’s Watershed Stewards Program and some beaver friends behind the scenes, our beavers should have plenty to eat. I’m hoping some nice paper takes the bait and you’ll read all about it next week, but if not,  I’ll make sure to post photos from our own Cheryl Reynolds when it happens!

More good work on the beaver front. Bruce Thompson sent me a photo of this new exhibit at the Dubois Museum in Wyoming. They’ve obviously had a long time to learn from him over the years. How cool is this? I love the alliteration! Thanks Bruce!

And speaking of poetry, I got inspired on the drive home thursday and put this together. Appreciations are due to Dr. Seuss and Joe Wheaton, in no particular order.
