Learn about beavers on zoom this month
The Peregrine Audubon Society will be hosting a zoom meeting on Tuesday, April 20 at 7 p.m., presenting Brock Dolman and Kate Lundquist on “Beaver in California: Creating a Culture of Stewardship.”
A vital part of aquatic ecosystems across North America, the beaver came close to extinction in California by the late 1800s. Lundquist and Dolman, of the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center WATER Institute, will share the historic and current plight of this “keystone” species, interesting facts about its remarkable biology and how the North American Beaver can benefit humans and the environment.
Learn how this ecosystem engineer is helping urban and rural communities restore watersheds, aquifers, create fish habitat, recover endangered species and increase climate change resiliency. Lundquist and Dolman will share how 10 years of research and collaborative restoration are successfully working to bring back the beaver across California. This talk will include information about beaver that occur within the boundaries of the Peregrine Audubon Chapter.
