HAPPY 2022!
Let’s hope whatever new variant this year brings only affects beaver trappers, okay? I usually prepare something for the end of the year listing all the very valuable things Worth A Dam has been part of over the year, but there is only thing we really did in 2021 and it was a whopper. 
The California Beaver Summit was a labor of love from start to finish. Meaning from October 2020 when I started hatching the idea after watching the New Mexico beaver summit all the way through the winter months while I was lining up speakers and begging for the website and the logo.
It was a LOT of work. More than a beaver festival because it had more moving pieces
In the end we had 1000 people signed up and more on the day who wanted to join, There were people from 4 countries and 24 states but this was what I was proudest of. The State and federal Employees who make decisions about beavers every day.
I have trained myself never to assume anything is a game changer. But this was an accomplishment. The videos from those days have been downloaded more than 1500 times. And I’m really proud of what we managed to fire across the state of California’s brow.
If you need a reminder of the days, revisit our summaries of speakers on day 1 and 2.

I wonder what 2022 will bring?
