The beavers have cut down a number of cottonwood trees in the area and their dams have caused flooding of trails in certain areas, said Richard Dahl, Westminster parks services manager."It has gotten steadily worse each year," Dahl said. "We really needed to have a management plan so we can effectively deal with them." Full Story I wonder if I can start a trapping business? link to story || 5 comments || Add a comment |
