HERE TO LEARN ABOUT BEAVER…
• This is a course about
• We are here to learn about an old (1930’s) conservation strategy & some new restoration strategies using beaver
• To do this, we need to
– Know a bit about beaver biology/ecology
– Focus on their ingenuity as ecosystem engineers (dam building)
– Understand where in the landscape such strategies makes sense

THE HOPE IS…
• This undiscriminating rodent who once shaped so much of North America can
– Help us restore many of our degraded streams & rivers for cheaper
– Promote much more dynamic behavior in streams & rivers that will lead to healthier ecosystems and higher rates of biodiversity
– Help buffer the impacts of climate change

SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT…
• The ecosystem engineer is very experienced
• Most the species we care about have co-evolved with this engineer
• The science is conceptually solid… but fairly qualitative
• Precautionary Principle?
• The cost is one of the most compelling arguments from a restoration perspective

HOWEVER, BEAVER ENTHUSIASM IS
• Surprisingly prevalent
• Sometimes unnecessarily divisive
• Potentially dangerous
• And worse of all, might prevent us from effectively leveraging beaver in the many places they make sense
• Expectation management is crucial
