On this episode, we will learn all about our Oregon state mammal, the beaver, with Project Beaver. We chat with Jakob Shockey, Executive Director of project beaver, an organization focused on protecting and coexisting with beavers. During this episode, Jakob teaches us about the history of beaver in the Willamette Valley, their importance to watershed health, and how humans can live with them in harmony.
