Living with beavers: history and solutions

Beaver activities benefit the natural environment in many ways. Challenges arise because humans live in and travel through areas where beavers also live. That is, human and beaver land uses sometimes conflict with one another.

A local history of beavers

Wide-scale trapping in Washington State nearly extirpated beavers by the mid-1800s. Their fur was sold to make hats in England and other places. Beaver relocations in Washington began in the early to mid-1900s. These relocations were happening primarily so people could again trap beavers for their fur, but a few people recognized the benefits beavers provide.

As beaver populations began to make a come-back, trapping also continued. But in the time period of 1999-2000, three things happened that has increased beaver populations in King County and elsewhere:

1. In 1999, Chinook salmon were listed as a Threatened species in Puget Sound under the Endangered Species Act. Since then, many millions of dollars have been spent on stream and river restoration, which includes planting lots of trees and shrubs. These trees and shrubs are beaver food.

2. In 2000, voters in Washington State approved a ban on "body gripping traps." Body-gripping traps are lethal traps that were by far the most commonly used traps for beavers and many other furbearers. Trapping continues in Washington, but the non-body gripping traps are expensive, heavy to work with, and harder to use. This change in law resulted in a dramatic decline (around 77 percent) in recreational trapping of beavers statewide.

3. The value of fur also declined during this time period.

Because of these three changes, beaver populations are now growing and expanding into areas that have not had beaver present since before the area was first settled by Europeans. This current human landscape we have created was not built with beavers in mind. And to make things even more challenging, the extreme weather events resulting from climate change also bring more water into stream systems at times.

What are the solutions?

If you are experiencing back-water flooding from beaver dams in a location that is unacceptable, one or more "engineered solution" may be able to help. Water level control devices allow the beavers to remain present while water continues to flow downstream. If beavers are cutting your trees and shrubs, there are a few solutions, most of which involve fence and are very effective. Refer to our matrix of solutions to different beaver challenges. This table presents the pros and cons of different solutions and shows a rough estimate of cost.

Solutions to flooding

If a beaver is making a dam on your property and the water is causing property damage or safety issues, you have a few options to consider:

You may have a pond-leveling device or culvert fencing installed. The idea behind these devices is to allow the beavers to stay on location while water levels are kept at height that is acceptable to humans.

You could get a permit to remove the dam. But the beavers will probably rebuild the dam, sometimes overnight.

Live trapping and relocation is often part of a solution. But trapping by itself won't solve the problem. Either the surrounding land cover needs to change to make it unattractive to the next beavers that come along. Or, other solutions should be put in place prior to the next family of beavers moving in.

Consider contacting King County Drainage Services for a consultation.

To do nearly all in-stream work in Washington, you need to get a permit from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. WDFW has a web page describing Hydraulic Project Approvals, which are required under the "Hydraulic Code" (Chapter 77.55 RCW) passed in 1949. In many instances a permit from the King County Department of Permitting and Environmental Services is also required. Beavers don't need the same permits, so they have an advantage over people in their response times.

Protecting trees from beavers

Beavers are experts at removing trees and other vegetation. Here are a few options for protecting your vegetation from beavers:

Fencing placed between your vegetation and the beavers can be extremely effective. You can fence groups of plants, or you can individually "wrap" trees. Putting fence around a tree doesn't have to be complicated, but you can find more on this topic in our Technical Paper #1.

Similar to fencing trees, you can also paint the lower 4 feet with a mix of latex paint and sand. Beavers don't like to chew through the grit of the sand. However, paint needs to be reapplied regularly, and you are introducing plastic into the environment, so fence is often better.

Plant species that beavers don't prefer. They do prefer willows and cottonwood. If willows or cottonwood are present, they may generally avoid Pacific ninebark, Sitka spruce, the true firs, black twinberry, red elderberry, and young cascara.

October 6th, 1999

21 years ago the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe's status as a federally recognized tribe was finally affirmed. After decades of petitioning, the Tribe received a determination of Federal Recognition in August of 1997. Following the announcement there was a short period of time in which surrounding tribes could challenge our final determination, which some tribes did. It was not until over two years later, in 1999 that the Department of the Interior affirmed its original decision. Today, the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe celebrates this date, October 6th as Snoqualmie Rights Day.

Twenty-one years later, the Tribe has much to celebrate. We raise our hands to those who came before us, and to those who join us in supporting Snoqualmie Tribe's sovereign rights to ensure a prosperous future for the next seven generations and beyond.

Word Structure

Lushootseed words are made with several parts including prefixes, possessives, roots and suffixes. The prefixes can indicate many things about a word.

The lə- prefix adds the idea of -ing to verbs that talk about moving from place to place. The ʔəs- prefix indicates a state of being or a sense of perception or body position. The ʔu- prefix indicates a completed action, or an action with a built in end, like reading or eating. Generally, any action that does not use a lə- or ʔəs- prefix will use an ʔu- prefix.

You can turn a verb into a noun by adding an s-nominalizer to the front of the verb. A good example is the word for eat - ʔəɬəd, adding an s-nominalizer you end up with sʔəɬəd, which is food.

Possessives are attached to a noun, and can go before or after the noun. The primary possessives are d- for my, ad- for your, -čəɬ for our, -ləp for your folk's, or -s for his, hers or theirs even though those words don't exist in Lushootseed.

Some prefixes indicate when something occurred or will occur. The ɬu-prefix indicates you plan or will do something. qəlb is rain and sləx̌il is today, so ɬuqəlb sləx̌il is, it will rain today. Another example is the word tomorrow, dukʷəɬdat. The tu - prefix indicates something happened in the past or long ago. It is also used when referring to one's ancestors. As far as the recent past you can see this in the word for yesterday dukʷəɬdat.

Other suffixes add more meaning. The suffix - alʔtxʷ means a building, hence x̌al alʔtxʷ is school. The suffix - ali means a place where something is kept, there for a sɬagʷid ali, is a bedroom.

Using the Lushootseed Dictionary

Once you strip away these prefixes you can get to the root or main meaning of the word. The root marker, shown here √, shows the start of the root. Everything before the root symbol is a prefix. Once you have the root word, you can look it up in the Lushootseed part of the dictionary.

If you are looking up a word in the Lushootseed section of the Lushootseed Dictionary, you will likely do it by the root word. For example, if you look up pədt̕aqaʔ, you will find it under t̕aqa. Likewise, if you were looking up wolf, you would find it under tiqayuʔ, not stiqayuʔ.
