The Beaver Restoration Guidebook (BRG) is a free, open-source guide to the best available science, restoration techniques, and management practices for partnering with beavers in stream restoration. Since the last published edition new science has emerged, and this project will strategically update the BRG with the most useful new material. The Beaver Coalition has partnered with the original authors and relevant state and federal agencies to facilitate this update. It will include material on beaver habitat, the impact beaver wetlands play on wildfire behavior, a conceptual framework for assessing factors limiting beaver range expansion, a set of standard designs and best management practices for coexistence solutions, and a clarity regarding changes in the regulatory framework around beaver, beaver-based restoration, and coexistence structures in Oregon.
