Worth A Dam was originally formed to defend the Martinez Beavers. At first, the goal was to promote the Martinez beavers’ welfare through responsible stewardship, creative problem-solving, community involvement, and education. But then, once our Martinez beavers were safe, we became interested in helping other cities. We want everyone to learn why and how to co-exist with beavers. Beavers provide many benefits! Beavers contribute to increased diversity of wildlife; frogs, fish, birds, and wildlife. Worth A Dam has lts of information about different techniques, including using flow devices as long-term solutions for beaver-human conflicts.

Since 2008, Worth A Dam has held an annual beaver festival in Martinez, CA. Many wildlife groups come from all over the Bay Area, set up booths, and help people learn about wildlife – along with celebrating the beavers of Alhambra Creek. We maintain an international website that is updated daily with beaver news and information. In addition we
help other cities learn to coexist with beaver throughout the year.
