Western Beavers is a grassroots, volunteer-led campaign of ordinary folks working to support beaver recovery on eastern Oregon landscapes. Our volunteer efforts last year totaled ~2,500 hours, with out-of-pocket expenses of ~$6500.
To make this work possible in 2024 we could use your help. Support this campaign with a gift today.
Our biggest expenses are expected as:
- Field travel for outreach: $2500. Meeting people where they're at is a large part of this work to build relationships with rural landowners and agencies. Click here to support our field travel for outreach with a Phillips Fuel Gift Card

Includes trail cameras, drone supplies, and batteries to document and better understand beaver occupancy and stream restoration activities. View our monitoring equipment wish list on Amazon
