Beaver Relocation
Sometimes beavers and their dams are welcome and sometimes they aren’t. The Lands Council of Spokane, Washington is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the Inland Northwest forests, water, and wildlife. Their Beaver Project identifies locations that would benefit from dams to store spring runoff and reintroduces beavers to those areas. The beavers come from places where they are considered a nuisance, such as when they cut down too many trees for their human neighbors, and would have been euthanized. They’ve successfully relocated 27 beavers so far.
