Full Citation Examples
This project examines historical, archaeological, and geological evidence to re-evaluate the existing management paradigm that beaver are non-native to most of California. The purpose of the study is to identify where beaver historically existed or could have existed, with particular emphasis on their likely range within watersheds that are utilized by coho salmon or steelhead trout. Identification of the habitat overlap between beaver and these two salmonids will enable restoration efforts utilizing beaver to be targeted where they will maximize the benefits for these species in terms of rearing and overwintering habitat.

-
This table georeferences all of the locations of beaver found in California from early to mid-19th Century, based on the seminal work of Tappe (1942) and Grinnell (1937).
-
This table summarizes all available trapping data since 1950, provided by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (formerly Fish and Game) since 1950, sorted by County. Trapping densities are the total beaver trapped divided by County area.
