Beaver-Based Considerations for Restoration Workshop
Clackamas Community College
Are you interested in learning more about beaver ecology and behavior? Are you planning and designing beaver-related restoration projects to improve habitat for native fish, with the hope of naturally recruiting beaver to your project area? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this workshop is for you. In this workshop, we’re inviting experienced wildlife biologists and practitioners to share their guidance on the opportunities and challenges of advancing beaver habitat and beaver-modified landscape restoration in Oregon. Attendees will learn about Beaver Ecology and Behavior 101, Oregon’s priorities and resources for beaver-modified landscape restoration, lessons from the field on natural beaver recruitment, and recommendations for pragmatic restoration outcomes in terms of habitat for beaver and by beaver, including considerations for Oregon’s species of greatest conservation need (Oregon State Wildlife Action Plan Species) that may co-occur with beaver.

Morning Lecture: Lakeside Hall at Environmental Learning Center, Clackamas Community College, Oregon City Campus, 19600 Molalla Avenue, Oregon City, OR 97045
