Love 'em or hate 'em: Beavers are in our watersheds. What role do they play? Denise Burchsted, PhD will describe the ecological role that beavers provide in river systems. Benefits for humans include removal of nutrients, habitat for desired fish and wildlife species, and protection from drought. This talk will also explore the balance between nuisance flooding by beavers versus the creation of increased flood resilience.
