Beavers are the cheapest watershed engineers we will ever hire — their dams slow spring runoff, raise water tables, and build the wet meadows everything else depends on.
The project is anchored on FPLT-managed land, where an active colony shows what beavers do for a watershed — and it reaches beyond it: more dams stand on public land nearby.
Observe. We document active colonies, map dams, and track how the wetlands behind them change season to season.
Support. We help landowners install flow devices and tree protection instead of removing dams — coexistence is almost always cheaper than conflict.
Advocate. We speak for beaver protections and reintroduction with local and state agencies.
If you have beavers on your land and mixed feelings about them, talk to us first.
