Bringing Back the Beaver: The Story of One Man's Quest to Rewild Britain's Waterways

Product Information

Players can change the beaver's colour by first using the funky shaped log on it, which is purchasable from the Forestry Shop. This allows the player to then change the colour of the beaver by using certain logs on it. Once the funky shaped log is used on a beaver, the player may change the colour freely at any time by using the corresponding log on it. A player's actual chances of receiving it is 1 B − ( L e v e l * 2 5 ), where B is the base chance and Level is the player's Woodcutting level. Burrow and lodge entrances are usually underwater and may only be visible if the water is clear or the level has dropped. This means you may not know if there are burrows on your land. Dams Laughs] In the Methow Beaver Project they like to find compatible pairs of beavers to relocate as a family. That way, they will settle down and start building dams like you want them to. Oftentimes, if you catch a beaver by itself, that beaver is going to go wandering around looking for a mate and probably get eaten by a bear or a cougar. The Methow Project tries to create compatible beaver pairs, a bit like a beaver dating service. [laughs]

That’s important in Britain because it’s a rainy place with lots of flooding issues. There is some great research on reintroduced beaver colonies in Devon, southwest England, showing that their ponds and wetlands are fantastic when it comes to mitigating flood damage. As floods race downstream, the water gets stored in the ponds and disbursed outward to the surrounding wetlands. This research team from Exeter, in Devon, has shown that beavers swallow up 30 percent of the water during your typical big rain event. So, a lot of beaver reintroductions in the U.K. now are motivated by flood damage reduction, which is another cool function of beavers. Bring it home for us, Ben, by summing up what you love about beavers, and what you think the future holds for them. The law protects salmon and trout migration routes from obstruction. This only applies to human-made structures and not beaver dams. If your actions to manage beaver activity cause an obstruction to fish migration, you will need to find a way to allow fish to pass the structure.

Leaving a beaver dam in place may push water around the sides of the dam which can create new passage routes for fish. You should leave the dam in place, if possible. Swinehart, A. L.; Richards, R.
