We are proud to host BeaverCON 2026, a conference that brings together practitioners, researchers, land managers, policymakers, artists, and more to explore the role of beavers in our communities. Through presentations, field experiences, and collaborative discussions, BeaverCON creates a space to share knowledge, build partnerships, and advance real-world, nature-based solutions.

About Us
Founded in 2017, the staff and volunteers of our small but powerful nonprofit are all committed to a mutual cause: Promoting coexistence with beavers for the benefit of all.
Our goal is to resolve beaver-human conflicts in a science-based manner in order to maximize the many benefits that beavers contribute to the environment. We provide technical and financial assistance to private and public landowners experiencing beaver conflicts, train mitigation professionals, support scientific research, and increase the public appreciation of the beaver’s critical role in creating climate resilient wetland ecosystems.
