Arborists with beaver experience?
For real, I mean real four legged beavers. I have two trees that are at the waters edge and I'm wondering if this is beaver damage? Anybody here have insight?

Your posts are usually very comprehensive so you deserve a "gimme" now and then.

Not much you can do about beavers unless you can get a permit to trap or hunt them. They are considered a nuisance in some areas and federally protected in other areas.
And the title of your thread is just ripe for smart ass replies. I must resist. I must resist. ![]()

Beavers have really been working on that wood.

Wrap the base of the tree with 1/2 inch grid galvanized hardware cloth to about 3 feet up.

This thread is shamefully anti-beaver.

I don't think it's beaver...I'd say porcupine.

Porcupines are beavers that can climb. both eat the same thing...
( although porcupines tend to like the more tender areas at the tip, and beavers tend to go only as high up on the trunk as they can but stay closer to the root)

Make sure the galvanized hardware cloth is ribbed in the proper intervals so the beaver moves on after climbing on top of it and does chew on your wood anymore.

I'd be careful, I think that would agitate the beaver.

I'm Canadian. If there's one thing Canadians know, it's how to handle beavers
