In the recent decade, there has been a growing interest from landowners and land managers regarding how to manage/live with beavers. This signaled to us a real need for sharing information on how to co-exist with beavers and using beavers as a watershed management tool for watershed resiliency and restoration. We have been, and continue to share this information by hosting webinars, hands-on workshops, and providing written resources, which can be found in the sidebar of this page. We will be adding to this collection over time so please check back often.
