Last week, volunteers from the #USUAggies @beaverbunkhouse relocated a recently-trapped beaver family in the high Uintas. The center offers landowners grappling with problem animals an alternative to lethal trapping. 🦫
Our team was featured on @CBSNews this morning showing how relocating beavers can be a win/win for restoring riverscapes and fighting climate change. cbsnews.com/video/scientists… via

Anyway, eternal thanks to @fluvialwheaton, @JayWilde3, and Nate Norman of the @beaverbunkhouse for taking the time to show me all of this amazing stuff last month. I'm fortunate to know some brilliant folks (and beavers are fortunate to have these guys in their corner). Onward!
Our own Nate Norman talks with @utahpublicradio 's Tom Williams and @ben_a_goldfarb about the benefits of beaver and why we work to relocate them.

For years, the beaver community has waited for a scientist to rigorously study how our favorite rodents interact with wildfire. @EmilyFairfax is that scientist. This is that study.
For @NatGeo, I wrote about a very important development in Beaverdom.
