Building Climate Resilience: A Nature-Based Approach
In recent years an increasing body of knowledge has demonstrated the many benefits of beavers, as well as innovative, cost-effective methods to manage them. North America's most valuable Keystone species, the beaver, can naturally restore healthy streams and watersheds, improve water quality and storage, combat climate change, increase biodiversity and even recover endangered species, including salmon.
The Vision for creating the BeaverCON conference is to bring professionals, practitioners, and others dealing with beaver issues and wetland restoration together on the East Coast to share the latest research and best management practices for "Nature's Engineer", the North American beaver. Here are a few useful resources:
