The beavers are back!
Researchers estimate that approximately 13,000 beaver dams exist in Idaho. This is less than 5% of the potential number based on historical estimates.
Around a fifth of the beaver restoration projects taking place in Idaho incorporate beavers. The remainder are using techniques
including beaver mimicry, or building dam-like structures that imitate beaver activity and in some cases, encourage the animals to take up residency.

Take a look back at some of the major moments in our history.
