Testimonials
“This [coexistence project] has been its worth weight in gold. I am very impressed with the structures of the beaver deceivers; on how they were built, and how well they are holding up. The areas where these were installed, we have not had to worry about since they went in. Only to keep an eye on them... to see how they function because they are so new to us... We were going there about every three weeks to clear debris from the outlet, not anymore 🙂”
“Jakob Shockey is a leading authority on managing beaver related flooding problems with flow devices in the entire state of Oregon. A wildlife biologist and researcher, he is quite knowledgeable about wetland restoration and facilitating adult and juvenile fish passage at beaver dams with flow devices. The Beaver State is in good hands. I highly recommend him.”
“[Jakob] was a compelling speaker, passionate and articulate. His talk was based on fact based science, expressed in terms for a lay audience. He had experience “on the ground” and working with local agencies and groups. His long personal history in the area, added a whole other dimension. He was truly exceptional. His was one of the best programs the branch has had.”
