Living Better with Beavers will explore and define beaver coexistence strategies that are effective and scalable to match the growing interest in and needed prioritization of natural climate solutions. If you are working in restoration or water management, from low-tech process-based restoration, large wood placement, wetland mitigation, transportation infrastructure maintenance, meadow remaking, beaver-based restoration, agricultural irrigation, beaver relocation, or stormwater management, coexistence is an essential management and climate resilience tool to add to your toolkit.

Join us for a deep dive into conserving existing beaver habitat and expanding beaver benefits by managing human conflicts with our native ecosystem engineer, the American Beaver!
