Tales of the Beaver: Learning to Coexist with Ecosystem Engineers
By Adam Gebauer

But sometimes the industrious nature of beavers comes into conflict with the built environment.

Sequestering Carbon Through Conversation and Community Burning: Converting Forest Fuels to Biochar
By Adam Gebauer

These pilot burns were a chance for the forest community to come together and look at the many potentials for biochar on the landscape along with some of the limitations to large scale implementation.
