    Zone VIII

    This zone was not counted.  More about this zone later.

    Long-time Flat-tailers Richard and Paul ski the distance to census this zone as the "1,500  Yarders"  Good stamina, job well done!  Thank you for counting our longest zone.

    Zone X

    Gus and Joe skied upstream to spot beaver as "BCXC".  Yeah.  You are Nordic Ski gods!

    Zone XI and XII

    Jon and Colleen doubled up on data with Steve and Neoma, "The Walkers" to verify the absence of beavers on this zone that were supposed to be here.  Thank you for verifying what turned out to be a false lead.  Not as glamourous, but necessary.  Zone XII was sampled the week prior to BC and no beaver activity was observed on this zone.  

    Below is the synopsis for 11 years of counting beaver

    BeaverCount for Mink Cr.

    BeaverCount for Mink Cr.

    After seeing a steady decline in activity for the past 4 years, this year represents the lowest of the lows.

    Zone V

    BeaverCount for Mink Cr.

    BeaverCount for Mink Cr.

    Typically there is plenty of activity on this reach.  This year is  one of the lowest since Watershed Guardians was founded.

    Zone VI

    BeaverCount for Mink Cr.

    Zone VI

    The "Castor Counters" tallied this zone which was a bit of a boot from the parking lot.  Yay!  They saw some activity!

    Zone IV

    Zone IV

    Zone VI

    Censused by the 3 Dam  Dames, this reach was our "go to"  colony for years.  Now , it is wiped out.

    Zone IX

    Zone IV

    Zone IX

    Zone II

    Zone IV

    Zone IX

    This is the zone where the training was conducted.  If you you went to training, you know where these are. 

    Zone XIII

    Zone XIII

    Zone XIII

    IF&G closed this reach to trapping two years after the last colony was recoreded here and 4 years after we requested that they close it to trapping..

    Zone I

    Zone XIII

    Zone XIII

    This zone was sampled by the Surfer Snow Junkies* and has some difficult access.  This may be one reason that it has intermittent activity.

    Zone VII

    Zone XIII

    Zone VII

    This zone was counted by the "Castor Counters" and "Leave it to Beavers" as zones VIIa and VIIb.  Typically a viable zone.  Message us at 232-0825 if you would like directions to  this zone.

    Zone III

    Zone III

    Zone VII

    This is one of our bright spots for this year's BeaverCount.  Fortunaetly, we had the "Eager Beavers" get to this VERY DIFFICULT zone counted this year.  Thank you, ladies!

    Zone X

    Zone III

    Zone X

    This zone was once the "Keystone" of our BeaverCount training.  In 2007, it hosted 26 active dams and as many as 8 activty clusters (colonies).   We sent 2 expeditions there this yaer to verify reports that activity had been seen there.  Alas, these were false.
