Volunteers demonstrate how sturdy beaver dams are during BeaverCount X training
This workshop was not possible without the help from Dane Durham, Eagle Scout candidate. By selecting this workshop as an Eagle project, Dane was able to enlist the help of members of his troop, Troop 777 sponsored by the First Central Christian Churchs to hand deliver over 75 invitations to residents along Mink Creek in Bannock County. Over 20 people attended!
Thank you to the Shaws, who were gracious enough to allow us to set up the workshop on their pasture on Mink Creek. I met the Shaws several years ago explaining to them that if the irrigation company would remove the debris from the area (or burn it) when their pump inlet was un-clogged after beaver clogged it, that beaver would be less likely to repeat the job. So far, this has worked.
Idaho Master Naturalists attended from the area and participated in the workshop. We are grateful to Paul Allen and company for attending and learning about some of the techniques available to thwart beavers' actions without killing them. Thank you, Paul!
The workshop will be held in the lower pasture at Dr. Jim Shaw's property, iin the lower pasture. Please follow signs and be respectful to the Shaws who were gracious enough to allow us to use their pasture

We promote co-existing with beaver. We can talk all we want about relocating beaver, but until we first figure how to live with them, it's a risky proposition. Donate and help us construct non-lethal mitigation structures. ($2,000)
Coming this summer, join us for popcorn and movies. We feature the movie "Beaver Believers" featuring testimonials from those who help make beaver part of our nation's future, not a footnote in history. Your donation helps us rent the movie.($440)

One of the main reasons beaver are killed is not for their fur, but to get them out of the way. We work so hard to build our roads and canals, that when we have any kind of issue with them, we destroy the source of the problem. This includes beaver. By donating to our cause, you help fund the fuel, insurance, materials and tools that we need to keep beaver from making too much mischief. Your donation helps with this effort. Our last beaver deceiver cost $4,500 to install!
