Leave it to the Beavers: Beavers in Colorado

Join us for a speaker series all about beavers and resilient watersheds!

Co-hosted by Wildlands Restoration Volunteers (WRV), Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed (CPRW), Larimer Conservation District (LCD), and Rocky Mountain Flycasters (RMF), this monthly series (Feb–Sept 2026) brings together experts and community members to explore the powerful role beavers play in creating healthy, resilient ecosystems.

The second event in our Leave it to the Beavers speaker series is “Beavers and Their Impacts on Fish" with Dr. Niall Clancy.

Beavers and native fish co-evolved for millions of years, but with the Anthropocene era now in high gear how well do beavers and native fish coexist? What things should be considered when thinking about beavers and native fish? What role should humans play in ensuring the success of native wildlife like beavers and native fish? Come hear the good, the bad, and the ugly.
