Allowing beavers to do what they do
OUR WORK
OUR MISSION
For you, for your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, support Canada’s first national organization dedicated to advancing beaver-supported conservation and watershed restoration.
The national organization’s mission will be to promote practical, science-based approaches that support beavers in creating resilience for our human and wildlife communities.
Our initial priorities as an organization will be addressing policies, education and coexistence.
Coexistence: Many technical solutions exist that allow beavers to live where they want without causing trouble for landowners. These services and sustainable options need to be more widespread.
Policy: Currently, policies favor lethal solutions to beaver challenges over nonlethal options, such as installing pond-leveling devices or relocating beavers. This needs to be changed.
Education: There’s an incredible opportunity to help Canadians appreciate the services that beavers offer our communities – whether through zoos, elementary and secondary schools, walking tours of beaver ponds, and other ways to engage the public. We want all Canadians to get the memo!
