Now is the time to let your state reps know why it is critical to protect beavers and pass HB 2843!
The three pro-beaver bills for this legislative session are are all interrelated and complement each other. The habitat created naturally by beavers brings significant ecological and economic benefits to people, fish, wildlife, and forest. In order for these benefits to be realized, beavers must be able to safely build and maintain their dams while expanding their numbers and distributions across the state.
Whether you live in an urban or rural area, tie it directly to your community's needs as well as the larger picture. Restoring beaver's place on public lands benefits us all — from Oregon water security and water quality to drought-preparedness, natural resources, fish and wildlife habitat, and wildfire mitigation.
We've provided some talking points to help you get started. It’s best to pick one or two issues to include with your request for a hearing. It's helpful to stress the importance of water-related benefits. Letters should be fairly short and to the point. The more personal the letter, the better.
