To All Village Residents: In response to my original article regarding beavers in the Village, I have received some additional information from a Village resident who also had beavers on their property. They used conduits in their dams and put wire fencing around the trees that they didn't want destroyed, which frustrated the beavers, causing them to leave. Drowning them is cruel and inhumane and it would take hours for them to die. There is an organization outside of Utica which may be able to offer some recommendations: Beaversprite PH: 315-429-3785.
