Do I have anything particularly educational to say with this post? Not really. But I hope it helps you get through your Monday with a smile. 🥰🦫 oh, I did think of something. Beavers are classified as crepuscular, or tending to be most active at dusk and dawn during the twilight hours, but they don't strictly adhere to a strict consistent sleep cycle like most humans and other animals. Instead they take multiple shorter rest periods when it suits them, which seems like a pretty efficient way to get things done. With the beavers in captivity during the winter, I have noticed that they go through periods of keeping different hours, and are not always in sync with each other. Right now, Arrow has been awake during the day the past three days while Gretchen and Bo sleep, but that could be different again next week. I have found myself keeping these sort of strange hours while caring for them, sometimes awake all night, sometimes awake all day, and sometimes both. I have to say I feel more productive, but I will report back later on whether or not I have just severely messed up my sleep cycle, or cracked the code to human productivity by emulating nature. Bo just woke up and did a big stretch to get ready for the evening while I was typing this, right on time at sunset in textbook crepuscular beaver fashion 🦫 if the past few days have been any indication, Gretchen won't be awake until 10 PM. I almost wonder if they have naturally staggered their schedules? in any case, all three have fresh clean swimming pools to enjoy this evening. #wildliferehab #wildliferescue #wildliferehabilitation #animalrescue #beaver #bothebeaver #beaverrehabilitation #wildliferehabber

I was late coming home last night and there was a bit of a riot ... 🦫😂 Last night I gave a presentation to the town board of Knox about the benefits of coexisting with beavers, and although the reception was lukewarm, I am pleased to report that the town will be moving ahead with a site assessment and planning for flow devices to manage the conflict instead of lethal trapping. This is still the early stages of planning and we don't know 100% that the flow device will be successful, but I am grateful that the town is willing to give it a chance🙏🏼. One of my most enjoyable conversations of the evening was with the trapper that the town had hired to remove the beavers. After speaking, it was clear that he is a true sportsman who respects the animals, and even readily agreed that flow devices can work in some situations. He takes no joy in the idea of killing beavers, just saw it as a task that sometimes needs doing, and when laws and circumstances prevent the relocation of beaver colonies, sometimes he isn't entirely wrong... Which has got me thinking, (I was up all night till 4 AM with my mind just racing ..) What if there was a way to connect all of the people who have reached out to me wanting beavers on their property, with all of the people struggling with beaver conflict, and help facilitate relocation? What would that look like? What permissions and laws do we need to satisfy? What sort of building would I need to house a colony of beavers during relocation? Considerations like healths screening, and inspecting the areas wanting beavers to make sure that the land can support them. What about a cooperation between NY and western states who desperately NEED beavers? 🦫 Could we give "problem beavers" a new lease on life with a job of making wildfire resistant landscapes? I feel as though I am about to embark on a journey until I get these answers. Others are already doing this work with great success in other states and countries, why not here and why not us? We could save so many more beavers, and put them where their work will do the most good😃 #beaverrehabilitation #bothebeaver #beaver #wildliferehabilitation
