Abstract:

"Once absent from the landscape due to over-harvest, North Carolina's largest rodent is a hard-working eco-engineer that can be equally fascinating " Unsustainable harvests in the late 1800s led to a disappearance of such events for a 40 year period after 1897. In the 1980s, beavers had re-established themselves across most of North Carolina. Currently, with a population exceeding 1 million, regulation supports harvests ranging from 30 to 40,000 beavers annually.
