Wondering which plants beavers love most? While they'll sample a variety of vegetation, they have clear favourites. Here's a quick guide to the trees, shrubs, and perennials they're most likely to choose: https://thefurbearers.com/blog/planting-for-beavers-trees-shrubs-and-perennial-choices/

Also, if a tree is taking too long or is too large for beavers to make it fall down, will they just abandon it and move on to another tree?

I’m writing an essay on beavers and agriculture, specifically ranching (I’m especially interested in public lands ranching). What are some things I should include - facts, stories, anecdotes, people, places, examples, anything interesting that I can research and put into the essay - to show how ranching can harm beavers, who are amazing little ecosystem engineers?

And what great examples are there of beavers used in rewilding projects in the US especially? Maybe some lesser known ones I can mention or people to interview?

I have a beaver lodge on my property and was wondering if the dam could be close by? If it’s far what’s the best way to locate it?
