The MWBP SE project supports:
- In-depth opinion research about beavers through a survey, interviews, and focus groups to learn from various stakeholder perspectives;
- Development of a “beaver response” protocol and audience-specific messaging, materials, and an engagement plan based on input from the research phase;
- Implementation of the Phase I engagement plan to recruit landowners in priority geographies identified through the TA process; and
- Sharing results and lessons with partners, stakeholders, and other restoration practitioners to advance beaver-focused restoration efforts across Oregon.
