Overview

Mission

We empower humans to partner with beavers and value their works.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization has focused their work into two programs:1. Empowering humans: this program is our approach for empowering humans with better tools for partnering with beavers. Because beavers are an opportunity to come together for land, water and people.2. Valuing beaver works: this program is focused on helping humans value the work of beavers. As the late takelma grandmother agnus baker pilgram insisted, we must "be the voice for the voiceless and many humans have forgotten the ecological wealth that beavers bring to a landscape.

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict
