Here’s something to be grateful for. I meant to write about this months ago but it sat in my “potential posts” folder for so long because there was a glut of beaver good news. Now we can finally get caught up to this important news.

Human-Beaver Coexistence Fund

The Human Beaver Coexistence Fund (HBCF) will educate the public about the benefits of coexisting with beavers and provide resources and financial support to address human-beaver conflict using nonlethal management strategies.

We will accomplish this mission by establishing a cost-share incentive program to help landowners and managers pay for beaver coexistence projects of two types: tree protection and flow device installation.

We currently serve Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia, with plans to expand our reach throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
