During its March 11 meeting, MD of Bonnyville Council approved a new Beaver Control Policy, which will see landowners pay $100 for the removal of dams on private property.

If the dam is impacting municipal infrastructure, however, the dam will be removed at no charge. There will also be a $20 incentive put in place, allowing landowners to trap beavers during the seven-month trapping period.

The beavers must be from a verified beaver population area. There is a limit of 10 beavers per quarter section. For more information on the new program, please call 780-826-3951
