The beaver relocation program at USUAggies re-homes about 75 beavers each year, restoring ecosystems where beavers have played a crucial role for thousands of years — all with support from UtahDWR and the U.S. ForestService.
in areas across the West before deciding in 2017 to go a step further — incorporating live beavers to the same sites.
“This could be anything from a beaver that chewed on one tree one night, or it could be a colony of several beaver dams and lodges on a large ranch,” Norman said. “If nobody fixes the dam, that’s usually a good indication that there’s nobody left there, we’ve got them all — because beavers really hate to have their dam broken,” he said.
In dry climates like Utah, beavers play a crucial role in slowing water down, so precipitation has time to seep into the landscape, she said. Slowing down snowmelt and giving water time to seep into the ground also helps with aquifer recharge — whichThis recharge depends on an area’s geology, Fairfax said, but research has shown that once beavers occupy a stream, there is a local rise in the water table. And if the species persists over time in that area, there can be “true aquifer recharge” — which can affect areas far beyond a beaver pond.
That’s because beavers need deep water, Wilde said — their entire defense mechanism when evading predators relies on hiding in it.
