Our recent Beaver Coexistence in Action field tour introduced 55 policymakers and state leaders to the effectiveness of our coexistence pilot projects at the Cosumnes River Preserve and a neighborhood in the Sierra foothills. The event offered state leaders a firsthand look at successful coexistence in sites typical of some of California’s most climate impacted and beaver conflict-prone regions: the Central Valley and the Sierra foothills. We hope that the strong show of support from influential tour attendees is poised to keep beaver coexistence moving forward as a well-established part of California’s climate and conservation strategy.Read the full story! oaec.org/news/new-field-tour-brings-beaver-coexistence-to-california-state-leaders/With deep appreciation to our:tour sponsors California Trout Defenders of Wildlife Wildlife Conservation Network and Resources Legacy Fundproject partners: Cosumnes River Preserve, Connected Ecology HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc., Beaver Institute, Inc. and the BeaverCorps, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Fearless Advocacyguest speakers from: California Natural Resources Agency, Assemblymember Damon Connolly, Wildlife Conservation Board, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, HELIX Environmental Planning, Connected Ecology, and the Cosumnes River PreservePhoto Credits: Brock Dolman/OAEC #beaver #beaverrestoration #naturebasedsolutions #beavercoexistence #beaverbeliever
