The Freelance Beaver Detective: Tracking Urban Wildlife
with Pamela Adams, of Beaver Insights https://beaverinsights.com & joined by Filmmaker Kaye D. Ray
Join Pamela Adams of Beaver Insights, for an evening of talk & film.
Pamela is a Seattle-based urban wildlife researcher, educator, and self-appointed Freelance Beaver Detective, who is pioneering community-based beaver ecology-especially focused on urban beavers & the wildlife their watery homes support.
Encouraging citizens to participate, Pamela's vision is to foster more "freelance beaver detectives" in every urban waterway in the west and beyond.
A hopeful, science-grounded look at how cities and wildlife can thrive together.
Pamela Adams is a freelance beaver detective. In her past life she majored in Fine Art at San Francisco State University did a few careers including hospitality, and owned her own commercial insurance risk management company until retiring to the wilds of the PNW to heal from a cancer dx.
Where one may say she was saved by Nature RX as the mysterious beavers stared sharing themselves to her and she began getting back to her roots of hands-on caring for natural places as she had when leading crews in the San Francisco Golden Gate National Recreation Area with the Youth Conservation Corps in 1979.
During the Covid-pandemic, in the high desert outside Bend, she discovered through the art and science of camera trapping nocturnal animals, that beavers were not extinct but actively re-wilding watersheds all over Oregon and Washington!
Learning everything she could about the life history of beavers, and putting her hobbies of noninvasive cameras, she is pioneering community based beaver ecology- especially focused on urban beaver ecology.
Her vision to to foster more "freelance beaver detectives" in every urban waterway in the west and beyond. When one is dedicated to follow beavers one is bringing the news of good trouble.
Local documentary filmmaker, Kay D. Ray has been following Pamela, interviewing city agency representatives, and beaver conservation professionals exploring the challenges, and the benefits of beavers in Seattle's watersheds.
