Ben Goldfarb’s 2018 book, Eager The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter is a page-turned I couldn’t put down. His lilting descriptions knit together the complex story of beavers as ecosystem engineers of our entire continent. I plan to go hear him speak in Leavenworth at Wenatchee River Institute on March 13, 6:30-8:30pm.
Goldfarb begins this interview with a description of beavers as extraordinary landscape-scale agents of transformation … keystone species.
