in Camrose. The beaver population that frequent the water corridor, has been doing what comes naturally in our urban setting. They are spending their nights cutting down trees which they need for their food supply and dam building. Their presence along the west end of Mirror Lake is acutely obvious – numerous 80 to 120-year-old trees have been chosen as prized candidates by the ambitious rodents. The City of Camrose, Community Service Department, has attempted to manage the population with a balanced approach that includes: the caging of trees, dam removals, pond leveling systems and trapping. Such management tools assist the City of Camrose in keeping the numbers to appropriate levels. Our pond leveling system seems to be working in University of Alberta Augustana Campus area.

Wrapping/caging trees with wire, in the public areas, or on residential property, makes it more difficult for the animals to sink their teeth into trees deemed crucial logistically, or esthetically, to the area.
