When beavers flew : an incredible true story of rescue and relocation / Kristen Tracy & Luisa Uribe.
"In 1948, the town of McCall, Idaho, was booming. But there was a problem--a beaver problem! As the town grew, the people started finding beavers everywhere; and they soon became tired of their tree-felling, dam-building, semi-aquatic neighbors. Something had to be done. A clever man named Elmo Heter had the solution. As an Idaho Fish and Game warden, Elmo recognized the importance of beavers to the local ecosystem and decided that the only way to protect these animals was to relocate them. But how would he transport beavers on such steep, roadless, mountainous terrain? With a bit of creativity, perseverance, and a large supply of parachutes, Elmo carried out a truly innovative idea, successfully moving seventy-six beavers into what would become one of the largest protected forests of the United States. Brilliantly told, this fascinating true story is sure to engage readers, shining light on historical events that paved the way for modern-day animal conservation efforts."-- Dust jacket flap.
