No experience needed!
We will be walking the rivers and creeks in the County gathering beaver data with iNaturalist. You just need iNaturalist downloaded on your Smart device. We will give a short educational intro on what to look for and then we’ll all head out to the waterways. Come join us for 1 or all 3 dates!! Meetup locations are different for each date, so sign up and receive the specifics about each date via email.

California Beaver Summit
April 7th & April 9th, 1pm – 5pm Virtual California Beaver Summit.
During two half-day sessions on two days in April, we explore the many benefits that beavers offer to our drying state. The first session on April 7th will present an overview of beaver essentials. The discussion will clarify the history of beavers in the state, their ecological contribution as a keystone species, their function in aquatic restoration and conservation, and finally, how to successfully manage common conflicts beavers cause.
The second session on April 9th takes a closer look closer at how biologists, watershed stewards, and land managers utilize advances in beaver science and management for restoration. It addresses where they are being employed for fire resilience, conservation of endangered species, and cleaner water. California-specific management and policy challenges will be highlighted along with directions for future improvements. Because we are behind other beaver-progressive western states like Washington and Utah, California is in a unique position to avoid their mistakes and learn from their successes.
