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

Valley News Live – KVLY/KXJB – Fargo/Grand Forks

For some reason, North Dakota is surprisingly pragmatic about beavers.  Even though Minnesota to the East and Wyoming to the west and Sascatchewan to the North and South Dakota right below them are all abysmal examples of beaver management, North Dakota is that rare glimpse of management with stewardship and understanding. I don’t really understand it. I just like it.

“Probably the most economical way of dealing with beaver is wrapping the trees, probably a couple three feet up as high as a beaver can stand off the ground, with chicken wire or some kind of wire mesh to keep the beavers in, they’ll leave it alone.” says Doug Leier with North Dakota Game and Fish.

Please explain to me why we get an answer like that from NDGF  and can’t get a glimmer of hope out of California? I long to know, what Collier-reading nature-lovin’ wise ranger is lurking in the background or history of the department.  This makes me weirdly happy, since if we are able to get a few states to pass the word we can seep beaver good news all around the country.
