Opening up breeding habitat by breaching beaver dams

Description: Using arial surveys and computerized tools, the Conseil de Gestion du Bassin Versant de la Rivière Restigouche will locate the dams on the Patapédia, Upsalquitch and Kedgwick sections of Restigouche River. Ground crews will be deployed to open the habitat a few days before reproduction. Targeted trapping activities will help reduce the beaver population on some tributaries.
