Ecology Hour: Beavers

Hosts Tim Bray and Dr. Robert Spies talk with Brock Dolman and Kate Lundquist, co-directors of the Water Institute at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, about their work on beavers in California ecosystems.
Because beavers transform ecosystems and have done so for millennia, a number of other species are adapted to the conditions they create, including many California natives and some threatened species. Dolman and Lundquist are engaged in a project to restore beavers to the landscape wherever possible.
