🦫 About the presentation:
What comes to mind when you think of the American beaver? Conversations around beaver often view these animals through drastically different lenses: natural resource and partner, commodity and neighbor, nuisance and keystone species. In this presentation, ODFW Biologist Noa Meiri will explore the different lights in which beavers are cast and discuss how beavers, as a wildlife species, fit in our changing landscape of habitat restoration, game management, and urbanization.
