💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪂🦫 In 1948, #wildlife manager Elmo W. Heter of #Idaho needed to relocate #beavers flooding #farms without killing them during transport by #horse and #mule.

He built special crates with parachutes and dropped 76 beavers from #airplanes into #ChamberlainBasin where 75 survived to found new colonies that helped restore the region’s #watersheds.
