Beaver as a Supplementary Farm Crop
A beaver colony established on a farm near Wilberforce three years ago. After the farmer harvested marsh grass for feed he asked the Department of Lands and Forests to remove the dam. The dam was removed but the beavers moved a mile downstream, continuing to provide water and an opportunity to supplement his farming.
