We are at a critical juncture as a species living on earth. In response to the urgency of need, Beaver Institute is rapidly expanding to train more beaver-restoration wetland professionals, mitigate beaver-human conflict, produce and promote science-based research, and activate national momentum toward nature-based solutions. The wetlands beavers create and steward are an ecological and economic solution to the most pressing climate catastrophes: from fires to floods and droughts, to biodiversity and water quality.
A generous supporter has gifted a $25,000 matching grant for all donations contributed between November 15 and December 31st. Your donation this year will make double the impact!
Your donation will champion the expansion of our BeaverCorps program, allowing us to train 50 new beaver wetland professionals in 2023, collect and synthesize data on the ecological and economic impact of letting beavers be, and ensure that communities experiencing the worst environmental impacts have practical, climate resilient tools. Donate now!
