Beavers are often called ecosystem engineers for their ability to transform streams and wetlands, creating habitat for wildlife and improving watershed health. But their work on the landscape can also create real challenges for landowners, water managers, and communities.
In this episode, we explore the development of the Colorado Beaver Conservation and Management Strategy, a statewide effort led by Colorado Parks and Wildlife to support beaver conservation while addressing conflicts where they occur.
Keystone Policy Center facilitated the the collaborative process that allowed scientists, landowners, conservation organizations, Tribal Nations, and community stakeholders to come together to share perspectives and help shape the strategy.
