The work of beavers supports watershed and ecological health across the landscape. Many of the benefits beavers provide directly benefit humans: attenuate flood peaks, store water during droughts, create fire breaks and refugia, support later season release of flows and dramatically improve water quality and quantity by slowing water and trapping sediment. For landowners, industry, municipalities and governments, beavers are one way to achieve environmental outcomes such as enhanced biodiversity, wetland habitat, riparian health, water quality, etc. Despite these benefits, beavers can also pose challenges at the human-beaver interface such as flooding of roads or property, cutting of trees, and damage to infrastructure. Even with these challenges, in the recent decade there has been a growing interest from municipalities and other land managers to coexist with beavers. This signaled to the Working with Beavers collaborative a need for sharing information on how best to coexist with beavers leading to the creation of the Alberta Beaver Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) guide.
