- ... that Dorothy Richards, founder of the Beaversprite nature sanctuary, was known as the "beaver woman"? Source: LA Times: "Mismanagement Alleged to Have Left ‘Beaver Woman’ Legacy in Ruins": "Richards came to be known as the Beaver Woman, and before her death in 1985, beavers trundled about her cottage."
- ALT1: ... that at Beaversprite, beavers lived indoors and were allowed to chew on the furniture? Source: same source, passage: "Some of the animals lived indoors and gnawed on the doors and furniture."
- ALT2: ... that Dorothy Richards lived among the beavers at Beaversprite? Source: same as first

Article new and long enough, well-referenced throughout. Hooks are verifiable - I prefer ALT1, as the other 2 ALTs draw the focus to the (non-article) founder instead of the subject of the article. QPQ not needed, and no copyvio detected. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 12:49, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
