Share Your Beaver Experience

Have you had an encounter with beavers on your property, in your neighborhood, or while out exploring? Whether your story is one of successful coexistence, a lesson learned the hard way, or somewhere in between, we want to hear from you.

The Mid-Willamette Beaver Partnership is collecting personal stories and experiences with beavers to help others navigate life alongside these remarkable ecosystem engineers. Your insight—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what you’ve learned—can inspire and inform landowners, community members, and restoration practitioners across the region.

By sharing your beaver experience, you’ll contribute to a growing library of real-world examples that can guide future coexistence efforts.

This form is for collecting stories about your experiences with beavers—both positive and challenging—to help others learn from real-world examples.
