In 2019, the King County Beaver Working Group sponsored two public workshops to engage with residents on how King County can be a good neighbor where beavers are concerned. 

The four goals of the workshops were:

1. For King County staff and residents to engage with and learn from one another.
2. For King County staff to learn residents’ perspectives on what it means to be a good neighbor where beavers are concerned.
3. For King County staff to receive input from residents that will inform potential changes in County policies regarding beavers.
4. To generate new ideas for how King County government and residents can co-exist with beavers.

This report describes how the workshops were organized, who participated, and themes we heard. It then presents a set of recommendations based on the themes heard from the participants.
