Beavers cause many problems by damming up water or damaging desirable trees.
There are several operations to mitigate beaver conflict:
The M.D. is offering an incentive program to local landowners for beaver removal in problem areas affecting residential, structural, and agricultural flooding on private land. The M.D. has also compiled a list of local trappers willing to assist landowners through trapper proxy.
Please call the Ag Services Department at 780-826-3951 for more assistance with problem beavers.

The Municipal Development of Bonnyville has the services of a qualified blaster to remove beaver dams that cause flooding of farmland and/or property available.
Dams on fish bearing streams and rivers cannot be removed by blasting during the period from April 16 to July 1 according to the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans regulations.
