FREE community workshop: "Beavers: Ecosystem Engineers"

Presented by Elyssa Kerr, Executive Director of Beavers Northwest

As ecosystem engineers, beavers have a big impact on the habitats that they call home. This can often be a boon for fish and wildlife sharing this space, but a headache for people nearby. In this presentation, Elyssa will dive into beaver ecology and benefits as well as the challenges and opportunities for living with beavers in a landscape dominated by human infrastructure. The role of beavers in water quality, water conservation, fire mitigation and biodiversity will be emphasized.
