SUMMARY:California Beaver Summit Day 2: Beaver Dynamics—Ecosystems and Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is making our state hotter\, drier\, and harder for people and wildlife. Find out how beaver can help. \nBeaver has shaped the landscapes of California for over 5 million years. Their dams have slowed runoff and created wetlands of carbon enriched meadows. They charged aquifers\, maintained stable temperatures\, and cooled stream flows in California’s dry summers. Countless species and entire ecosystems have adapted to these beaver-maintained hydrologies and geomorphologies. \nToday\, across the US\, Canada\, and Europe\, people have begun to better realize the value these rodents provide. The golden state has been slow to understand this lesson. The California Beaver Summit is an important step towards changing that. \nDuring two half-day sessions on two days in April\, we explore the many benefits that beavers offer to our drying state. The first session on April 7th will present an overview of beaver essentials. The discussion will clarify the history of beavers in the state\, their ecological contribution as a keystone species\, their function in aquatic restoration and conservation\, and finally\, how to successfully manage common conflicts beavers cause. \nThe second session on April 9th takes a closer look closer at how biologists\, watershed stewards\, and land managers utilize advances in beaver science and management for restoration. It addresses where they are being employed for fire resilience\, conservation of endangered species\, and cleaner water. California-specific management and policy challenges will be highlighted along with directions for future improvements. Because we are behind other beaver-progressive western states like Washington and Utah\, California is in a unique position to avoid their mistakes and learn from their successes. \nFires in close succession and habitat destruction\, in general\, are significantly altering our rich biodiversity. Drought is a persistent concern. Understanding beaver management can transform this animal from an uninvited guest to an untapped resource. Their stewardship of streams can make our state more beautiful\, more robust to climate change\, and ultimately help keep California’s promise to future generations for years to come.
