My biggest question in this life here on earth is: How can we share our lives and habitats with other animals? I explore this question through yoga in Wild Asana.
In addition to writing and teaching yoga, I am also the founder and director of the Human-Beaver Coexistence Fund (HBCF), which has been around for TWO YEARS as of this month! HBCF is another example of me living potential solutions to the question above. We educate the public about the benefits of coexisting with beavers and provide resources and financial support to address human-beaver conflict using nonlethal management strategies.
Here are some highlights of what we’ve achieved over the last couple of years:
- Consulted with 60 landowners on human-beaver coexistence methods
- Conducted 22 in-person visits to beaver conflict sites (Request one here!)
- Provided 36 Beaver School programs to over 1400 students
- Provided 29 adult education and outreach programs, including 4 tree-protection volunteer days
- Provided cost-share funding for beaver coexistence projects (Apply for the program here!)
- Received over 10,000 views on our website- The most popular article is Did You Know…Beavers Don’t Eat Fish (and Other Myths)
- Became involved in leading the National Beaver Education Working Group
- Engaged with 600+ followers on Instagram and Facebook
