Description:
At the end of 2022, we learned of a colony of problem beavers that needed to be moved, (or exterminated), from Pass Creek near Castlegar. Since none of the previously identified Duncan-Lardeau beaver analogue projects1 were ‘shovel-ready’ for a variety of reasons, and since augmenting the Duncan Lardeau population still seemed prudent and timely, we decided to shift immediate action priorities from constructing beaver works analogues to bringing in the beavers themselves to do the wetland construction. Plans were thus put in motion to translocate beavers to the Duncan-Lardeau from the Pass Creek area near Castlegar.
