This is your last chance to learn about living with beavers from sustainable Corvalis tonight: I’m especially interested in the second talk from the parks person “Ten Years Observing the Beavers” which is about what Martinez got.
TOMORROW, THURSDAY MARCH 31st
Learning to live with beaver communities is one of the more productive actions we can take to help survive climate change, drought and wildfires. Benton County has a long, dark history of slaughtering local beaver. There is finally movement to change that course of history in Benton County.
Meet and hear some of these changemakers in a 3-part webinar starting:
BEAVALLIS: BEAVERS AND BEAVER TECHNOLOGIES IN CORVALLIS
The 2022 Liz and Bob Frenkel Hiking and the Environment Spring Webinar Series is focused on local beaver and human interactions. The first webinar shows you how a beaver functions and how our local governments manage beaver activities and lives. The second webinar shows you how “beaver deceiver” technologies are helping local landowners and beaver live together, how beavers can be used in the planning for Oak Creek regeneration and how current State legislation that could help beavers help us. The final webinar features world-famous beaver believers showing us how beavers will not only help our local community survive and thrive, but how beaver will help humanity survive globally.
