My God, what lovely creatures!! The indigenous people of this country referred to them as the "sacred center," because of the integral role they play in the ecosystem. Wise people, indeed.
Very cool, great music correlation. In rushing down to the creek to see our beavers, who now have a warrant on their hard-working heads, I saw a bird I've never seen before. Thanks to our industrious mammal friends, we now have new wildlife visiting the creek. Save our Martinez Beavers!
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for giving the beavers a "voice." I am so sad to read that the City of Martinez may kill the beavers. How misguided...I have written a letter and send my support to the beavers and their guardians!
Wendy Beckerman used to live on the east coast, and performed with singer/songwriter Jack Hardy. Her vocals are on many of his albums.

Well I love this version of this song and I'm grateful for it! She has such a rich tonal voice.

Ha ha! I wrote my "sacred center" comment before it came up in the movie. Maybe I should've waited until the end.

I'm glad you wrote either way, and glad to keep the conversation about beavers happening everywhere.

Sorry, the music is Wendy Beckerman, a SF artist.

Great story, thanks for telling it. Music is beautiful. Gary Bogue said he thought this dilemma could be solved peacefully and it was.
It just took a little time and thoughtfulness on everyone's part.

The song is old/spiritual/folk "The River is wide" the artist is local star Wendy Beckman. I agree, her voice is perfect.

And for writing the city your concerns, I would say the odds moved from 10% chance of them living to 60% chance today, stay noisy! H

Your beavers are in DANGER. Wednesday night the city will discuss their extermination. Come and defend your dam building friends. Heidi
