This project is a continuation of a 2019 venture to model the Beaver Intrinsic Potential (BIP) habitat for beavers in the Rogue Basin, assessing both the landscape and existing beaver populations and habitat use within that area. We have now turned our focus to people and beavers, seeking to better understand and address local human interactions with beavers, particularly any challenges beaver activities may be causing with damages to infrastructure and riparian or ornamental plantings. Through a partnership with US Fish and Wildlife Service, we are assisting landowners in the Rogue and Umpqua Basins by the implementing coexistence solutions for living with our beaver neighbors. These tools are proven, cost effective, and relatively easy to install and maintain. Occasionally, however, coexistence may not feasible because human land uses cannot tolerate any rise in water level, so this project also encompasses developing a list of suitable release sites in the Rogue Basin to live trap and relocate beaver, as a last hope alternative to exterminating them. Through a partnership with the Bureau of Land Management we are developing and testing an survey protocol for community volunteers to help with understand where the beavers are and what they’re doing—findings that actively inform the beaver management in the Basin.”
