Living with Beavers: Coexistence Strategies and Resources for Land Managers

Beavers provide many important ecological benefits for water quality and salmon populations. Their activity, however, can cause headaches for landowners and land managers. Compromises and adaptive management can help keep beavers on our landscape while resolving beaver conflicts. On this tour we will show examples of different coexistence practices that can benefit land managers who are dealing with beavers. We will hear from local organizations who all provide resources to promote beaver coexistence and help land managers deal with drainages issues on their lands. There will be plenty of time for question and answers as well.

We will provide hearty snacks and water. Please bring a water bottle and shoes for a 1/2 mile walk along a path through the wildlife area.

Location note: this tour will take place outside, at the Cherry Valley Wildlife Area. The parking area for this spot is on Highway 203/Duvall-Monroe Rd NE. Please use this linked pin to access the correct location. Google maps will direct drivers to a location off of NE Cherry Valley Rd but this is incorrect.
