A wonderful article about the importance of beaver with great photos too!

Chris Mclaughlin is the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Composting, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Heirloom Vegetables, and the upcoming Complete Idiots Guide to Small Space Gardening, and Hobby Farms: Rabbits: Small Scale Rabbit Keeping. She has written a post "Beavers as Master Builders of Wildlife Habitats" that is echoing recent voices that commend the beaver for their positive and crucial role in our environment. Let's hope these voices finally convince our city officials that beaver here and elsewhere are worth protecting!
