As with wildlife in general, ‘problems’ caused by beavers are in the eye of the beholder. In a natural setting, what beavers do from day to day is a critical part of any ecosystem. Occasionally, however, beaver activities come in conflict with what human beings have planned for a particular piece of land. In such situations, there is no need to resort to lethal means as a method of ‘control.’ Below are links to the front and back sides of an information sheet, ‘Beaver Problems and Solutions,’ published by Unexpected Wildlife Refuge. These are JPEG images of the document and should show up well on screen, but may not print well.
For more information, you can contact us or other groups knowledgeable about beavers, such as Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife.
