Training with Mike Callahan of Beaver Solutions

October of 2013, I traveled to Mass. to visit Mike Callahan of Beaver Solutions for a training intensive. I just can’t say enough good stuff about the guy. Ever-informative, helpful, and a most gracious host, he laid out everything I’d need to know plus a bunch of stuff I hadn’t thought to ask. Since returning, he’s been unfailingly generous with his time and knowledge, and taught me everything I know. I’d definitely recommend getting his video if you’re thinking of doing your own install.

During my four day visit we toured many sites, maintained some of them, and installed two new ones. The one in Pittsfield was great fun.

It was a great learning experience, and I’m looking forward to bringing this knowledge to the most hydrologically modified state in the nation: California. I believe that partnering with beaver is one of the most effective methods available for building drought and climate-change resiliency.
