- 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) reply
