Learn how to manage beavers and create a peaceful co-existence on May 11 at the Beaver Management Workshop, hosted by the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) and Friends of Laurier Woods.
“Beavers can be a benefit and a burden,” explains Troy Storms, NBMCA’s Supervisor, Field Operations.
“They help maintain important wetland ecosystems. They create habitat for themselves, as well as several other species. But they can damage vegetation, farmland, municipal infrastructure and water quality,” he added.
This workshop includes a morning presentation by "beaver whisperer" Michel Leclair, followed by an afternoon field trip to Laurier Woods Conservation Area to see a "beaver baffle" in action.
