CDFW Releases Beavers Into the Wild for First Time in Nearly 75 Years!
The endeavor, known as the Beaver Restoration Program, successfully completed its initial relocation in October 2023.
Occidental Arts & Ecology Center was privileged to be invited by the California Division of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and The Maidu Summit Consortium to partake in this historic homecoming for beavers in Plumas County, specifically in a place held dear by the tribal community as Tásmam Koyóm.
After years of dedicated collaboration with various partners across the state, it is incredibly gratifying to witness this moment when our state wildlife agency actively supports tribes in restoring beavers to their ancestral lands.
