I'm glad that beavers are being respected and appreciated. Touching that the beaver mentioned traveled a long distance to reunite with it's mate.

Hi Ellen. Yes it is good to see the beaver being appreciated for its contributions to the function of an ecosystem. For far too long it has just been noted for its nuisance quotient without an understanding of how the beaver contributes to the habitat of other species and the natural community as a whole.

kat, what did you think of the women beaver catchers? While I liked the stories of beaver rescue I would have liked to see more of the two in the beginning talking about how the beaver helped the water levels to remain stable even through drought and to even bring water back to wetlands that were drying out. Need plenty of cute quotient to attract viewers though and it is good to understand more about the beaver lifecycle.
