LWW2016: Co-existing with Beavers for Municipalities webinar

Municipalities from coast to coast are constantly facing the realities of living with beavers – downed trees, the potential for flooding or changes in landscape, and, of course, the blocking of culverts and other water management systems. But lethal action – once the only option – has been proven ineffective and ecologically damaging. And even better, there's a non-lethal, long-term solution available to any municipality or landowner.

For several years, The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals (The Fur-Bearers) has worked with private landowners and municipalities in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario, to implement co-existence programs that incorporate flow devices, tree wrapping, education, and new policy. These programs mitigate or eliminate the very real concerns facing many decision makers and provide a solution that incorporates science, beaver behaviour, and compassionate conservation – a win for everyone involved.

Join wildlife conflict manager and beaver flow device expert Adrian Nelson as hewalks our webinar audience step by step through the process of installing flow devices – as well as the importance of site selection, material choices, maintenance, and the benefits of maintaining beaver habitat.

The event will last for approximately 60 minutes including a question and answer period, and all you need to attend is a computer or Apple mobile device (iPod or iPad). A webcam or microphone is not necessary for participation.
