Hey, folks. Welcome to the Dark Horse podcast, Inside Rail. I am thrilled to be sitting with returning guest Jacob Shockey, who is the founder and director of Project Beaver. Some of you will remember that we did a prior episode on beaver ecology. I've learned a ton from Jacob about that amazing topic. As fascinated as I was before, I was stunned by what I learned. We are going to talk about a bunch of new issues regarding beavers. But before we get to that, let me just say first thank you for joining me and welcome to Dark Horse.

[upbeat music] There's a story, before we get to the beaver ecology, that I think viewers of this podcast will be fascinated by. You have been doing your work in the nonprofit world, and your organization stumbled at the point... Well, maybe you should tell the story of what happened to the Beaver Coalition, the initial presentation of your organization.
Jakob Shockey· Guest1:02
Yeah. So we were the Beaver Coalition. Um, we... I left my job doing restoration work and started this nonprofit. And, uh, in March of 2020, which was a great time to start a new endeavor, um, [lip smack] but we had a lot of momentum. We were, um, doing little interviews with folks that would land in National Geographic and such, and, and, and attracting a lot of attention.
