Seven Steps for Effective Beaver-based Restoration

  1. Consider the landscape: Find prime beaver habitat (low gradients, wide valleys)
  2. Consider the beavers: Find where beavers are or are not and why
  3. Consider the people: Find where beaver/human conflicts exist (engagement, shared goals)
  4. Help beavers stay: Implement coexistence solutions (tree wrapping, culvert protection)
  5. Help beavers fix it: Repair degraded habitat (willow planting, beaver dam analogues)
  6. Help beavers find it: Move beavers into isolated areas
  7. Monitor outcomes: Have the goals of beaver-based restoration been achieved?
