A community science effort to better understand the floodplain forest’s most industrious mammal

Mississippi Park Connection along with our partner, the National Park Service, need help finding beavers and beaver activity along the Mississippi. Learning more about beavers and their behavior will help our understanding of floodplain forests in the national park, and inform our efforts to maintain and restore habitat. If you spot beaver activity along the Mississippi River or nearby parks, please click the button below to launch the survey. It only takes a few minutes to complete and is invaluable data for our resource management team! If you spot more than one type of beaver activity, please submit separate surveys for each observation. Thank you!
