Beaver Coexistence Growth OAEC’s established beaver coexistence program, built in partnership with the WATER Institute and the Beaver Institute, provides a ready platform to offer training, certification, and consulting to landowners, agencies, and conservation groups seeking coexistence solutions.

Grant Funding Opportunities With a $2 million California Department of Fish and Wildlife grant for beaver coexistence and a growing development team, OAEC presents strong opportunities to provide grant writing, program design and impact reporting services, often in collaboration with its partners.

Education and Training The center runs permaculture design courses, site tours, and garden volunteer days that attract thousands annually; this signals a ready audience for scalable training packages, including on-site immersive programs and online modules for organizations and corporate teams.

Retreats and Workshops OAEC specializes in retreats and strategic planning meetings for social and ecological justice groups, offering a pathway to sell corporate team-building retreats, facilitated workshops, and off-site planning services to nonprofits, public agencies, and private organizations.

Sustainability Partnerships Aligned with corporate sustainability goals, OAEC can attract sponsorships and co-delivery partnerships; opportunities include sustainability content development, seed and plant nursery supply, heirloom seed collaborations, and joint campaigns that showcase climate resilience and regenerative land use.
