Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Day: September 25, 2019


You know how it is. You think you’ve seen it all. Tried everything, opened every door. And then one day, almost out of the blue Nancy Pelosi launches an impeachment inquiry and San Diego is relocating beavers.

About Dam Time!

So our friend Eric Robinson is really doing this. He is raising money to buy traps and I think Worth A Dam should help. I already told him he has to have a booth at the festival and explain it all. And he agreed!

The rest, as they say, is history.

Beavers flooding rifle range to be removed from Camp Pendleton

Experts say the beavers come down the Santa Margarita River each year and flood the rifle range at Camp Pendleton with their dam-building.

SAN DIEGO — Several beavers that have been causing issues at Camp Pendleton in North San Diego County are set to be removed from the Marine Corps base.  

A group of environmentalists that specialize in these types of animal removals has received approval to live trap and transport eight to 14 beavers. Experts say the creatures come down the Santa Margarita River each year and end up flooding the rifle range at Camp Pendleton with their dam-building.  

Previously, Marines at the base were lethally trapping the beavers each year as their population expanded. 

The group that traps the beavers will house them temporarily and the animals will have a health check performed by a veterinarian.  

The entire beaver family will be transported to release sites with the first batch going to Tule River Reservation near Porterville, California.  

A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist with the rescuing of the beavers.
