We believe that just like young human families who seek out a “starter home” in a community with good schools, nearby amenities, welcoming neighbors and jobs to provide for the family, #beavers also seek out similar basic conditions in order to settle down and build a family.

Here are some 'beaver basics' in considering where to build their new home base:

* safety (hydrology) from predators,
* shelter (good denning and refuge holes),
* abundant food supplies (for many mouths over many years), and
* human tolerance

We can make a site more suitable for a #beaver family by changing #grazing practices, planting willows, or installing beaver dam analogs to slow stream flow so it is suitable #habitat for beavers. This type of low-tech, process-based river restoration is cheap and scales up quickly.
