The Beaver Believers is an award-winning feature documentary sharing the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists - a biologist, a hydrologist, a botanist, an ecologist, a psychologist, and a hairdresser - who share a common vision. They’re all working to restore the North American Beaver, that most industrious, ingenious, bucktoothed little engineer, to the watersheds of the American West. The Beaver Believers encourage us to embrace a new paradigm for managing our western lands, one that seeks to partner with the natural world rather than overpower it. As a keystone species, beaver enrich their ecosystems, creating the biodiversity, complexity, and resiliency our watersheds need to absorb the impacts of climate change. Beavers can show us the way and do much of the work for us, if only we can find the humility to trust the restorative power of nature and our own ability to play a positive role within it. Shot in 8 western states, Mexico, and Canada, through desert drought, raging wildfires, forceful floods, and wetland tranquility, this film will change the way you think about climate change and inspire you to take a bite out of the challenges we face, one stick at a time.
The East Canyon Creek Watershed Committee, in partnership with Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter, Trout Unlimited, Summit County & Summit County Stormwater, Ecology Bridge, USU Extension – Summit County, Park City Municipal, Summit Land Conservancy, Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District, Basin Recreation, and other watershed partners, is excited to bring this free film screening and upcoming water conservation events, Trout Friendly Lawns, and stream restoration opportunities to Summit County this summer.
