Topic: Partnering with Beavers to Help Tackle the Climate Change, Wildfire, and Drought Challenges
A talk and discussion on how beavers and their dam building activity increase water availability even during drought, improve stream temperatures and bring new carbon sequestration zones online rapidly to help extract CO2 from the atmosphere. It will also cover some of the challenges that beavers face which are currently limiting their ability to support humans in helping minimize climate change impacts on humans (Clean Water Act issues) and wild communities (salmon recovery).
