Does anyone have first hand knowledge of or connection with the USFS Beaver Program in Ely? I have read a few articles about it and would like to learn more.
Thank you in advance.

Not sure why you consider this off topic - I’d say the Beavers flying overhead most every day are very much on topic.
This video is a bit old (but so are the Beavers!) , but I thought it was very informative. There are some newer ones but I have not watched. YouTube Ely Beaver Video

I flew with a couple of those pilots in the Video, seemed to go up with Wayne more than anyone else. Those pilots are all considered federal wildland firefighters and have 6c retirement coverage with 57 years old being mandatory retirement age.
May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

One Match...Fixed it for you :)
I have a family member that is involved in both flying and firefighting and thought this might be of interest to him and am trying to learn more about it or get connected with someone involved in the team/program.
