Navigating the Permitting and Regulatory Environment of Beaver-Related Projects: A Panel Discussion
Held Wednesday, March 13, 2024 - 3:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m. EDT
INTRODUCTION
- Ian Grosfelt, National Association of Wetland Managers [Presentation - PDF]
PANELISTS:
- Adam Burnett, The Beaver Institute
- Alexa Whipple, Methow Beaver Project
- Rob Walton, The Beaver Institute
- Mike Callahan, The Beaver Institute
BIOS
Adam Burnett serves as the executive director of the Beaver Institute after a career of building and running non-profits in the performing arts and environmental conservation. He received his BA from the University of Kansas in Theatre and spent a dozen years as the co-founder and artistic director of Buran Theatre. Stewarding intentional communities, reaching consensus, and manifesting opportunities for plurality are traits he relies upon in leading Beaver Institute.
Alexa Whipple is a restoration ecologist, a collaborator, and the Project Director for the Methow Beaver Project. She works for sustainability in all practices and effective, process-based solutions to challenging environmental conditions. She has called the Methow and Okanogan River watersheds of WA State home for the last 23 years but has worked across the western US studying songbirds, carnivores, plant communities, agricultural practices that sustain habitat and wildlife, and post-wildfire recovery of western riverscapes. Alexa completed her BS in Wildlife Biology at Virginia Tech and MS in Restoration Ecology at Eastern Washington University where she focused on beaver ecology and beaver mediated restoration of legacy degraded and wildfire impacted streams across western NA.
Rob Walton currently serves as the co-chair of the Beaver Institute’s Policy/ Legal National Working Group. He is retired from NOAA’s fisheries service where he focused on salmon recovery. Rob continues to work on the recovery of ESA-listed salmon species through restoration and protection of habitat- especially beaver modified habitat.
Mike Callahan began his beaver management work in 1998, started his Massachusetts-based business Beaver Solutions LLC in 2000 and has personally resolved over 2,000 beaver-related flooding problems using innovative water control devices. To share his vast experience and train others across North America and beyond he founded the nonprofit Beaver Institute in 2017 and developed its BeaverCorps Program that trains and certifies Beaver Wetland Professionals.
Mike shared his wealth of knowledge on various beaver management techniques, some examples of effective permitting processes, as well as examples of the often confusing, conflicting and counter-productive permitting processes that he and others across North America encounter on a regular basis.

The second of five Advancing the Integration of Clean Water Act and Natural Hazard Mitigation Planning and Implementation project workshops will be held in November 2024 and will welcome states and communities in the Southeast.The workshop program can be reviewed here.
Dates: November 13-15, 2024
Location: Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Who should attend: The focus of the training is on integrating programs to improve interagency planning and implementation of co-beneficial projects that reduce flood risk and improve water quality, among other benefits. To embed this focus on program integration, states, local community, and Tribal participants will be asked to attend in pairs. Each pair should consist of one individual who works on programs related to Clean Water Act requirements and one individual who works on programs related to natural hazard mitigation. States will participate in the training to deepen their relationship with any communities or Tribes in attendance from their state. Following the two-day workshop, NAWM and ASFPM will continue to work with each cohort to facilitate integration efforts via quarterly calls and webinars.
If you are interested in having your community participate in an upcoming training, please see sign-up information!
