Beaver Relocation

The Waterton Biosphere Region, along with Cows and Fish and Miistakis Institute (the Working with Beavers collaborative), are partnering to present two community events focused on beaver relocation.

Beaver biology, ecosystem benefits, and coexistence strategies have been covered in previous workshops, so this year’s events will examine beaver relocation as another tool to promote watershed health and climate resiliency.

Specifically, the presentation will review how beaver relocations occur in other jurisdictions and the biological, regulatory, and social conditions that must precede beaver relocation into an area. Expect some ‘beaver banter’ time to discuss considerations in a working landscape and to recruit interest from landowners of potential recipient sites.

These are free events, but registration is requested. Click here to register

Event dates and times are as follows:

• Spring Point Community Hall on Monday, August 25th from 9-11am

• Lundbreck Community Hall on Wednesday, September 3rd from 7-9pm
