Many beaver flow device studies indicate that modern water level control devices are effective, economical and can save valuable wetlands. Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife (BWW) is an educational nonprofit that has been helping people coexist with the animal engineers for over thirty years.

Beaver dams do more than restore wildlife habitat (their ponds are havens for nearly half the rare species), they also provide people with valuable natural services, such as water cleansing and stabile stream flows. Beavers build dams that naturally restore our land's best life support system. Manmade wetlands often cost tens of thousands of dollars per acre, while beavers work for free.

About Us
Report
Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife (BWW) is a tax-exempt educational nonprofit with members in the U.S., Canada and overseas. Just as the center stone, or "keystone" of an arch holds it together, beaver dams create vital wetlands that provide critical habitat for many wild species-and essential natural services for people.
History
Report
Friends and professional associates of the "Beaver Woman" Dorothy Richards created a nonprofit, Friends of Beaversprite, after her death in 1985 to carry on her educational efforts. Mrs. Richards first became interested in beavers in 1935 after reading Pilgrims of the Wild by Grey Owl. He was called the "first modern conservationist" because of his pioneering work to save wilderness.
Services
Report
Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife (BWW) regularly gives programs about beavers, and the best methods to coexist with this keystone species, for a variety of organizations and groups, and at conferences. Programs are geared to audiences of different ages and interests, ranging from children to nature clubs, highway superintendents, watershed groups and wetlands scientists.
Staff
Report
He formerly was a professor of Chemistry/Physics for 23 years and founder/president of the local Audubon Society. He helped found our educational nonprofit in 1985, and soon became a valuable leader thanks to his teaching experience. Here he is seen standing on an old beaver dam located on the Brown's 300-acre wildlife sanctuary called "Wildsprite".
International Beaver Day
Report
International Beaver Day is a fine time to hike to a beaver pond, arrange a display of books in your library, show a beaver video, and/or otherwise spread the word about nature's engineer. Remember beavers are more than fascinating watchable wildlife; learning to coexist with this species can help solve major environmental problems.
