The NY Daily News reported on Tuesday, December 16 that Jose, the Bronx River beaver, has been busy at work in the Bronx Zoo portion of the river again this winter. Watch video of the beaver
here (video and photos courtesy of WCS/Jule Larsen Maher).
Jose is the first beaver to re-appear in the Bronx stretches of the Bronx River in over 200 years. Says Bronx River Alliance Executive Director Linda Cox: "Everyone who has helped plant a tree or investigate river conditions or clean up riverside trash should feel proud today. We've made Jose welcome in the Bronx."
The Bronx River A
lliance works to restore the ecological health of the river through policy and planning (see the
Bronx River Ecological Restoration and Management Plan) and through on-the-ground restoration projects. The Bronx River Conservation Crew,
a team of ten led by the Conservation Manager, is in the field year-round removing debris and invasive species, planting native species, stabilizing streambanks, preventing erosion, and monitoring conditions on the river. To learn more about current restoration efforts, visit the Bronx River
Bio-log.
