Help Save Beavers!

Jan Lambert’s Quick Take:

If you love beavers you need to meet Sharon Brown, a beaver advocate who raises orphaned beaver kits as their “mother” and even takes her babies for swimming lessons!

Abstract:

Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife (BWW) is an educational nonprofit that has been helping people enjoy the great benefits of coexistence with this keystone species for over thirty years. All species are important in an ecosystem, but keystone species like the beaver run the show by creating vital habitat for wildlife, and valuable natural services for people. Yet only a small fraction of North America’s original Castor canadensis population that was present prior to European settlement, remains today.

FIX LINK Jan Lambert’s Quick Take:

Beavers are nature’s water engineers; they create and preserve wetlands vital to ecosystems. When beavers and human activities conflict with each other, there can be a win-win solution for both the beavers and the humans! Be sure to check out Skip’s website!

Abstract:

A win-win solution to human-beaver conflict is installed in front of a road culvert in Marlboro VT, thanks to local collaboration and the skills of Skip Lisle, inventor of Beaver Deceiver™ flow devices, which solve the problem of beaver dams blocking road culverts and cause flooding.
