Partner Highlight:
Beaver Ecology & Relocation Collaborative

We are grateful to partner with Utah State University's Beaver Ecology Relocation Collaborative (BERC) on sharing "living with beaver" strategies and relocating beavers to allow them to spread their benefits across Western wetlands.

Recently, we had the opportunity to co-host a Beaver Deceiver Workshop with BERC at one of our restoration sites, where we shared beaver coexistence tools to support landowners and restoration partners in beaver-led restoration techniques.

Thank you to our partners at BERC for the outstanding work you do!


 Thank You

Our ambitious goals for wildlife and land conservation are only possible through the contributions of our volunteers, partners, and donors - thank you!

If you're unable to join us in the field this season, you can support our work by making a gift, following us on social media, or forwarding this email to friends & family who might be interested.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, or check out our project page for additional resources.
