These Wednesdays from 12:00pm to 1:30pm, we'll cover:March 4th > Beaver Basics: Biology, Life Cycle, and Habitat We'll cover beaver ecology, life cycles, seasonal behavior, dispersal, forage needs, and what beavers need to persist across variable flow regimes and working landscapes. March 18th> Monitoring and Field Surveying Your Beavers Learn practical, noninvasive approaches to monitoring beaver activity using trail cameras and standardized field observations. This session emphasizes choosing the right tools and monitoring intensity based on your organization’s capacity, staffing, and budget. April 8th > Understanding the Data: From Site Observations to Landscape-Scale PlanningMove from individual observations to watershed-scale insight. This session focuses on interpreting occupancy data to identify where beaver presence is most likely to persist and where landscape investments can realistically support long-term success.We’ll share real examples from Eastern Oregon monitoring and restoration projects.Register here to reserve your spot for all three webinars and receive links, reminders, and follow-up resources.At checkout, you can set the optional Zeffy platform fee to $0.Fee waivers are also available upon request.** Space is limited.

Session 3 > Understanding the Data: From Site Observations to Landscape-Scale PlanningMove from individual observations to watershed-scale insight. This session focuses on interpreting occupancy data to identify where beaver presence is most likely to persist and where landscape investments can realistically support long-term success.This series focuses on universal principals and practices around beaver ecology and surveying, with examples of beaver recolonization specific to high desert, western watersheds.Register here to reserve your spot for all three webinars and receive links, reminders, and follow-up resources.At checkout, you can set the optional Zeffy platform fee to $0.Fee waivers are also available upon request.** Space is limited to 50 participants **
