Beavers As Partners – Focus of the Valley Green Journal

FIX LINK AT BOTTOM

Jan Lambert’s Quick Take:

‘Beavers As Partners’ is a community service focus of The Valley Green Journal in helping communities find non-lethal solutions to human-beaver conflicts, especially with the use of beaver deceiver flow devices to prevent flooding.

Abstract:

Beavers As Partners is a campaign to raise awareness of the critical role that beavers play in restoring healthy landscapes, through their construction of rich wetlands.  These unique ecosystems are vital for flood and drought reduction, habitat for numerous wildlife species, and regulation of climate by replenishing atmospheric water cycles.  Unfortunately beavers are attracted to the sound of water flowing through culverts and their engineering projects can sometimes cause flooding of roads, etc. Nonlethal management has been shown to be more cost-effective, due to the reduced likelihood of new beavers returning, as well as ecologically beneficial.

State-of-the-Art Beaver Deceiver™ in Marlboro VT

FIX LINK Jan Lambert’s Quick Take:

Beavers are nature’s water engineers; they create and preserve wetlands vital to ecosystems. When beavers and human activities conflict with each other, there can be a win-win solution for both the beavers and the humans! Be sure to check out Skip’s website!

Abstract:

A win-win solution to human-beaver conflict is installed in front of a road culvert in Marlboro VT, thanks to local collaboration and the skills of Skip Lisle, inventor of Beaver Deceiver™ flow devices, which solve the problem of beaver dams blocking road culverts and cause flooding.
