The Beaver
Effect
Making a dam good impact, one branch at a time.

Welcome to The Beaver Effect,
a collection of stories, artwork, and ways to take action created by Suze Wehr and Oregon Wild. By diving into the amazing characteristics, widespread impact, and challenges overcome by beavers, we hope you will feel inspired to care for your ecosystems and communities like these lovable, semi-aquatic rodents do every day.
“It may seem trite to say that beavers are a key part of a national climate action plan, but the reality is that they are a force of 15–40 million highly skilled environmental engineers. We cannot afford to work against them any longer; we need to work with them.”
