Emily Fairfax - Beaver-Created Refugia from Megafires

Emily Fairfax is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Resource Management at California State University Channel Islands. Dr. Fairfax double majored in Chemistry and Physics as an undergraduate at Carleton College, then went on to earn a PhD in Geological Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder. She uses a combination of remote sensing and fieldwork to understand how beaver activity can create drought and fire-resistant patches in the landscape under a changing climate.

There was a town in Maine with an emergency reservoir in case of fires, it was leaking and needed to be fixed. The mayor brought in a contractor and it was estimated to cost ten thousand+ to fix. A beaver moved in and plugged the leak. Save a small a ton of money.

I hope it goes well with the new Beaver program in CA.

Boss called wildlife "services" and they came out and drowned the beavers. I was sick. Be careful who you call for "help" if you think wildlife is causing you imaginary problems. Wildlife "services" kill millions every year of inconvenient wildlife.

CalFire should bend every available effort towards identifying and emplacing beaver across the state
