'Beaver dams hold back water & canals spread it out... The result: a verdant valley bottom that doesn’t burn.'

Loved this The Colorado Sun feature on the firefighting skills of our semiaquatic saviors, feat. (who else?) Dr. Emily Fairfax (+ an Eager shoutout).

Beavers are great ecosystem engineers that help keep watersheds healthy. Their complexes create wildlife habitat, filter out sediment & contaminants, & slow down & recharge groundwater.

'Nice to gnaw you' - a beaver, probably.

These ecosystem engineers use damn-building and tree-felling to expand their habitats and create brand new wetlands.

#InternationalBeaverDay

To celebrate #InternationalBeaverDay here’s a photo of a lodge that the beaver recently chewed through to go for a little springtime jaunt as the lake ice is still 50 cm thick. 🦫🤎🦫🤎

Happy International Beaver Day!

Every year we get one step closer to having #beaver mecha-suits for everyone.

Just kidding - beavers provide many environmental benefits on their own, no robotics needed!

☀️ drought mitigation
🔥 fire resistance
🌊 flood protection

and more!

Today's episode of Life With Fire Podcast covers the unsung heroes of climate and wildfire resilience—BEAVERS! Dr. Emily Fairfax and Dr. Sophie Gilbert joined us to share their seemingly infinite knowledge on the intersection of beavers and wildfire resilience...link below!

Scientists like Nick Bouwes and Emily Fairfax point out the ecological services offered by beavers and help the rodents get to work on some of humanity's more pressing environmental issues, like water conservation and climate change: tinyurl.com/ydddumxh
