Because beaver create such valuable wildlife habitat, the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife has a long-standing program to provide technical assistance to landowners and municipalities to help resolve beaver/human conflicts. This assistance might include the installation of water control structures, protective fences, and advice on beaver population control if necessary. Other organizations and individuals may offer the same types of assistance. For more information see the VFWD publication "Best Management Practices for Resolving Human/Beaver Conflicts".
