The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has provided an update on the results so far of returning beavers to watersheds, which included working with the Tule Rive Tribe to return beavers to the Tule River. So far the effort to return beavers to the Tule River has been challenging when it comes to all three releases that were done. All of the seven beavers in the first release may have been killed by predators and there has also been human tampering of monitoring equipment. CDFW stated after a year-and-a-half the beavers have begun their work as “ecosystem engineers” initiating the restoration of wetlands and building resilience to the effects of climate change such as drought and wildfire.
