Beavers Protect Soil and Wildlife in Utah Forest Study
A federal study reports 380 active beaver colonies on 975 square miles in the Uinta division of Wasatch National Forest, observed for 22 months. Dams averaging 92 feet long and two feet high created beaver ponds that regulated stream flow, reduced floods and erosion, and trapped silt to protect reservoirs and rivers.

Beavers Improve Some Utah Streams But Hurt Others
Utah wildlife officials report that beaver ponds help trout on rapid mountain streams but can harm fish in sluggish lowland sections. The Pittman Robertson funded study notes dams have little effect on migration in rapid streams, while Michigan and Utah findings differ due to stream type and pond age. Proper beaver trout management is urged to balance populations. Haas estimates Uintas could support 3 700 beavers and yield 1 200 pelts annually worth 10 000 to 20 000 dollars.
