Beaver Characteristics.
A beaver is attracted to running water. Their favorite food is Aspen but they are happy to eat virtually any other species of tree.

Beavers are rodents (like mice and rabbits) and their teeth keep growing all of their lives. For a Beaver to stop chewing and wearing down its teeth means certain death. Their teeth will grow and the Beaver will be unable to chew or eat.

Beaver Removal.
Reduced wild land availability and a market change in attitude concerning fur-wearing products has resulted in increased growth of the Beaver population. This has forced the beaver to find refuge in any pond, lake or river that will house them. Increasingly, beaver are finding their way to water privately owned.

Beaver trapping and relocation (or any other fur bearer) is a viable solution, which requires a valid New York fur trapping license.

NOTE: Many state and local governments regulate trapping of wild or nuisance animals. Call Westchester Wildlife for all Beaver trappings.
