Beavers are a surprisingly overlooked literary audience. I encourage you to follow your instincts

I loved learning about the desert pupfish! 🥲 These chubby lil guys deserve protection

The science is in on salmon populations. They need free flowing rivers, connected, healthy tributaries for raising young, and good water quality with varied flows. They need beavers.

The only thing that needs to die in this situation is a violent resource management strategy that ignores ecology.

The wetlands are blooming!

American scientists are not OK😐

You're welcome 😊

Beaver-human coexistence is possible!

A cool thing about this site: if you look at the bare earth lidar map you can see the beavs are reconnecting the exact spot where streams used to flow on either side of the path. They were drained and filled in for farms in decades past, but beavs "remember"

Oh do tell.... *waits for linked thread* 👁👁

10/10 . Would nibble

With an extra B for Beaver!

A good day to watch this many times over

YES! This is another great treatise outlining why focusing on keystone spp, like beaver, and ecosystems of high biodiversity, like wetlands, in restoration and protection is so critical. #ecology

Yes! There does seem to be a combination of random and strategy. If I can say anything confidently about beaver behavior, it's that "they do what what they want!" 🤷‍♀️

I am constantly in awe of beaver's highly selective methods of tree chewing. In just this small area we can see a cottonwood that has been repeatedly debarked and healed, but never cut, a mature ash that is heavily debarked, & two smaller ash in various stages of felling. How do beavs plan & decide?

USFS conservation pledge dated 1977

The USFS has a long history of conveying the importance of stewardship to the American people. The new administration is mad that it worked.

We need Chaco footwear and Coleman on this list too!

This is a financial and civilian force that can push back to protect the USFS!

Pressuring the outdoor brands to speak out against the gutting of the USFS is a worthwhile effort. They benefit directly from people recreating on public lands and are widely used for gear by people in federal jobs. Details on how to write your letters/posts as a coordinated effort : saveusfs.org

What a great video!

*hooting at you from a wetland in my waders* Happy International Beaver Day! "Eager" is the tipping point that pushed me into grad school and finally brought 2 decades of ecology fangirling into a professional focus. The beavs I research, and I, salute you and thank you for your service! 🫡 🖖 🦫

Good luck little cousins♥️🦫

There are so many great ways to celebrate beavers!

I'm threading some of my favorite Beaver Believer resources below- please share & add yours! #beavers #ecology #animals #biology #wetlandeco #joy

Always nice when someone lends a paw, building biodiverse ecosystems is hard work!

Some beavers are building a dam, using some sophisticated equipment like roadsigns. One holds a clipboard. Standing atop the dam, a bunny has a small stick which he presents to the beavers. The beaver with the clipboard reviews the stick.

Daily bunny no.3270 just wants to help out

Last day to submit comments to demand UNESCO heritage site, Chaco Canyon, stays protected! The relics of early peoples and fragile desert environments should not be turned into corporate oil drilling sites for short term profit!!! Links to public comment site below.

Washington Habitat Connectivity Action Plan

I've been really impressed with the work Washington state is doing around habitat connectivity, and their public facing maps to identify important crossings and wildlife areas. They deserve a shout out!

Nothing a few football fans and a beaver couldn't take care of 😏
