Just so you know, the depredation rate in California for beavers isn’t going away any time soon. Here are our stats for 2022.
As you can see, Placer is still number one when it comes to doing the wrong thing.
I thought you’d appreciate a closer look at why folks thought killing was the only way.
Damage to trees and crops has moved ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE NUMBER 2 spot! Imagine that! Although there are 5 permits that say we need to trap beavers because their dams are bad for fish, swainson hawks and vernal pools.
(Cough)
My very favorite permit is the one that says that a beaver recently felled an ELDER.
hahahahahahaha
I’m sure they meant alder. But elder is funnier, did he have a wooden leg?
