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

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE ASK A BEAVER


Supposedly Maggie Thatcher famously said “if you want something said ask a man, if you want something done ask a woman”. Which is very true and mostly more likeable than anything else I ever heard about her. Well maybe that’s true for beavers too.

Dr. Katie Holzer is a Watershed Scientist with the City of Gresham, Oregon. She completed her doctoral degree in Conservation Ecology at the University of California, Davis, where she studied amphibian habitats in urban and agricultural areas in the Pacific Northwest. Her research focuses on the human-animal-ecosystem connections affecting urban stormwater runoff and its impacts on freshwater habitats and water quality.

Earlier this week she presented her findings at the beaver institute and this part really blew me away. One treatment storage pond had a series of manmade steps to clear out particles and some beavers moved in and built dams RIGHT on top of them Here’s how they worked with and without beavers.
