This is an outstanding outcome to what inspired is many. We want to hear all about it

Beavers causing dam problems in bosque

Now, Jones is spearheading a new program to direct the beavers away from the acequia and point them to other areas of the pond where they can continue building dams for their safety and to help them access food. The plan starts with using a so-called flow device in the coming weeks.

“The one we’re going to put in here is similar to a culvert, so we’ll have an exclusion fence with a pipe going to a cage on the front end of that pipe. That way the water can flow unimpeded,” Jones said.

Jones said they know of at least two beaver groups in the area, one living in each marsh pond. This program will be done in collaboration with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, the city’s Open Space Division, and the Beaver Institute in Massachusetts.

There could not BE a better outcome than trees wrapped, natives planted and a flow device installed in cooperation with Game and Fish AND the beaver institute. Kudos to everyone involved.
