Who We Are
Welcome to the Vermont Beaver Association (VBA), a community formed by a passionate group of local beaver enthusiasts. Our journey began through a shared admiration and profound respect for beavers and their significant role in Vermont’s ecosystems. Recognizing the need to protect and promote these incredible creatures, the VBA formed the Vermont Beaver Collective, which is a working group of Vermonters and organizations to advocate for the welfare of beavers.
Our Mission
The Vermont Beaver Collective serves as a dynamic working group united by a common goal: to protect beavers and leverage their ecological benefits while promoting non lethal beaver control methods. As a keystone species, beavers play a crucial role in enhancing our landscapes—mitigating climate change, enriching biodiversity, and managing flood risks. Our collective is composed of advocates, educators, biologists, ecologists, and many others who are deeply committed to this cause.
We pool our resources and expertise to support one another and educate Vermont’s communities about the pivotal role of beavers. Through presentations and community outreach, we provide valuable information and innovative strategies for resolving beaver-related conflicts in humane and cost-effective ways.
Our Platform
The Vermont Beaver Association website serves as a central hub for communication and collaboration. Here, we share insights, research, and success stories to foster a broader understanding and appreciation of beavers. We are dedicated to the belief that beavers are not just animals to be managed, but vital allies in our shared environmental future.
We invite you to join us in this cause. Together, we can ensure that beavers continue to thrive and contribute to the health and beauty of Vermont’s landscapes.
