REGULATORY FRAMEWORK RELEVANT TO BEAVER

​UP TO RESTORATION & CONSERVATION REGULATIONS​

background

synopsis of topic

An introduction to regulations to manage beaver populations. We will address:
  • Relevant Federal and State Legislation
  • Regulations in States of the Pacific Northwest
  • The Utah Beaver Management Plan 

why we're covering it

Picture
Regulations on how beaver populations are managed can have a tremendous impact on the feasibility of partnering with beaver in restoration design. This in turn impacts the ability for populations to grow and occupy habitats that could benefit from beaver activity. These regulations may also indirectly influence the success of your restoration efforts involving beaver.  
Learning OutcomesThis topics helps us with the following learning outcomes for the workshop:
  •  A working understanding of considerations in restoration designs using beaver
