Beaver Restoration Updates

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) announces the release of two new resources: the 2025 Status Report on Beaver Restoration Projects in California and the California Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool (BRAT) viewer.

The Beaver Restoration Program invites you to a public meeting outlining the process for developing and submitting a Beaver Restoration Project Proposal. This meeting is intended for landowners and land managers who are interested in receiving translocated beavers on their property for the purposes of re-establishing local beaver populations and facilitating restoration of the ecosystem.

CDFW announces the release of a status report on the translocated beavers and restoration sites, summarizing project successes, lessons learned and next steps for beaver restoration in California.
