Beavers Rebound in Alabama After Long Restoration
The Beaver Restoration Program began in 1940 and by the 1960s had beavers in nearly every county as a result of careful live trapping and favorable hunting seasons. The period of low fur prices after World War II helped reduce trapping pressure, aiding rebound. The Alabama Refuge system, including Wheeler Refuge, offers year round access with few restrictions and rules for safe enjoyment. Conservation efforts also introduced Iranian pheasants in Morgan and Limestone counties, with nest sightings and young birds reported as spring arrives.
