George Kral, owner of Scholls Valley Native Nursery, delves into the intricacies of managing vegetation to effectively coexist with beavers. He highlights strategies for attracting beavers by planting specific trees and shrubs that serve as their preferred food sources. Additionally, he explores planting techniques that can discourage beaver activity in areas where their presence is undesirable. George’s observations and lessons learned over decades of practice will provide valuable insights for landowners, natural resource managers, and anyone interested in promoting sustainable coexistence between beavers and humans. By understanding beaver behavior and employing effective vegetation management strategies, we can minimize conflicts and reap the benefits of these industrious ecosystem engineers.
