I'm speaking about Atlanta #beavers at the International Urban Wildlife Conference #IUWC2025 next week in the special all day Peach State Urban Wildlife session. As a stream ecologist who mostly studies ecosystems and bugs, this is pretty different for me, but I figure it will be really cool to learn from experts in tangential fields and assumed there would be beaver talks from other cities.

Friends, I am the only person talking about beavers at the entire 4 day urban wildlife conference.

I have been following with interest the dispute between the local people and the local beavers. People prefer less water in the landscape. Beavers more. Beavers work at night. I see dams on the creek carefully plugged with dirt by beaver paws. In the daytime, people sometimes break them up. There are downed trees across the trails. I'm on the side of the beavers. Then there are muskrats, they don't build dams, but they're on the beaver side too.

Urban rewilding has brought back beavers, hornbills and platypuses to city parks – and that’s just the start

Bringing nature back to our cities doesn’t just mean plants and birds. We can bring native animals back too.

Good Morning #Canada
We are well into season 3 of #BigStuffInSmallTowns, and it's a long weekend, so today we celebrate Canadians' favourite subject - #Beavers. In Fredericton, a pair of Beavers has been hidden away for almost a decade but recently have been exposed to the public once more. The 1,400 kilo sculpture of a Beaver and a cub, commissioned in 1959, has been restored and installed inside the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
