Making space for beavers
The majority of beaver conflicts arise within areas immediately adjacent to freshwater habitats
Beaver management
LIVING
SIDE-BY-SIDE SUCCESSFULLY
With careful management, education and expertise, beavers and people can live together successfully and impove local eco-systems.
Beaver problems can be managed
After humans, beavers alter their environment more than any other organism on the planet.
This ability to create wetlands by building dams plays a crucial role in freshwater ecology, species biodiversity, riparian restoration and provides important services such as water management but it can create conflicts in modern, often heavily modified landscapes.
The majority of these conflicts can be managed by employing well-established techniques. Find out more about the various beaver management techniques below or contact our restoration team for further information and support.
