Mission

Beavers are recognized as a keystone species for the aquatic habitat their ponds create. We want to change attitudes that beavers are not a nuisance species but a partner if restoring degraded streams and wetlands.

Goals

We aim to highlight beavers' crucial role in ecosystem restoration and promote peaceful coexistence with humans, addressing concerns about infrastructure flooding and tree damage. Beaver pond levels can be managed by using a combination of fencing and piping to install "pond levelers" that reduce flood damage to infrastructure and protect trees from damage.
