State of the Beaver Conference
Join us at this conference as we present on beaver inspired water retention landscaping
About the Conference
Sacred Center of the Universe
The beaver represents wisdom because he uses his natural gift wisely for his survival. The beaver alters his aquatic world in an environmentally beneficial and sustainable way for his family and all water dependent species.
He is a builder of the mind, body and soul. He is symbolic of creativity, creation, cooperation, persistence and harmony. To cherish knowledge is to know wisdom. Use your inherent gifts wisely. Live your life by them. This is the way of the beaver.
Subtitle: Beaver Rendezvous
It is time for the gathering of the Beaver Clan. The clans are represented by birds and animals. Each clan is associated with one of three elements; water, land or air. For example the bear, wolf and deer represent the land element. The snip, hawk and heron represent the element of air. Beaver, turtle and eel are of the aquatic domain. Let us not forget the ancient cultural and spiritual significance beaver represent as we work together to restore them to their rightful place in the schema of life surrounded aquatic ecosystems.
The State of the Beaver conferences have a long tradition of providing an international venue for academia, agency and stakeholder partners to gather and disseminate information pertinent to beaver ecolgoy. These events continue to lead the way in forming collaborative coalitions at both a local and global scale. This is a must attend event for scientists, experts and enthusiasts alike.
