We have this issue, I think, as a people, just of beaver amnesia, not being able to see what the beavers created before us. And I would bet, you know, almost the entirety of us that are drinking water and flushing toilets and taking showers and all the things, our water is coming from somewhere that at some point in its history was shaped by a beaver.

Generally not castorologists. There was an early book in the late 1800s that had that name actually, but Generally, it's not castorology. It's either just beaver fans, beaver believers, all the things that are associated with interest and curiosity about beavers.

Yeah, I'm calling from northwest Montana, and I live in a valley called the Swan Valley, a little bit northeast of Missoula and south of Kalispell, up against a part of the Rocky Mountains there and below Glacier National Park. This is a special valley in a lot of ways. It's very well watered.

It has a lot of historic beaver activity and current and was also shaped by glaciers, which the beavers actively followed.

In a way, yeah. The last glaciation that covered America was about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, I believe, as it pocked out a lot of depressional wetlands and carved the rivers in certain ways that made it really conducive to complex flows, which beavers are actively seeking out all the time. And so they find in glaciated regions of North America.
