Abstract
The Clark Fork Coalition is a non-profit organization that has been protecting and restoring the Clark Fork River basin since 1985 through three complementary strategies: by protecting clean water, restoring degraded waterways, and engaging people in the critical work of caring for their rivers. In this presentation, Florie will talk about how the Clark Fork Coalition has adopted methods to work with beaver as part of their restoration and ranch management programs.
