Protecting Beaver Habitat in the Rogue River

Partnering with Beavers for Aquatic Habitat Resiliency in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest

This document is a how-to plan to achieve aquatic habitat resiliency through partnering with beavers. Herein, we present a strategic roadmap toward a goal to increase the function and resiliency of aquatic habitat in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, utilizing the strategy of more beavers on the landscape; with the ability to positively impact the hydrology, biology, and biodiversity of the ecosystem. We will monitor our success through the increase in aquatic habitat area (acres) “under beaver management.”
