"To preserve, maintain and protect the Portneuf River Watershed, one beaver at a time"
It was a beautiful day to be on the snow this Saturday!
Thank you to all who helped us census beaver activity on the Mink!
This is our most current estimate of beaver population on the Mink
It's no doubt that the existing policies aren't working
We'll have an uphill struggle ahead
Watershed Guardians has never shirked from a challenge. From commenting on virtually every furbearer season rule proposals, to attending Idaho Department of Water Resources board meeting to standing on the frozen street corners of Pocatello to get our message out, we are the essence of perseverance. This is go all in time. We are formulating a plan not just for today, but for tomorrow. We have a plan to move forward and get the Portneuf beaver out from "under the bus", but we'll need some help. We trust that we can count on our leadership, our friends and you to get the job done.
Beavercount was awesome! Thank you to our new Flat-tailers
