As not to be offensive to his neighbors, Joe and Justin have decided it would be best for the traps to be set after sunset and picked up before sunrise. The beavers would then be taken away from the property to be terminated. 2-6-06 Justin Davis phoned to let me know they trapped 2 beaver this past weekend.

There were two (2)beaver dams observed at separate culverts;one is on Russett Lane Gust beyond#128 Russett Lane)and the other on Momingside Lane(across from#135 Meadowview Rd).Both dams were free of debris and water was flowing freely.We're not sure who has been removing the material along Russett Lane....could be the neighbors or DPW. DPW should be aware that they need to start removing the woody material offsite so the beavers don't recycle the material. Morningside Lane: DPW installed a portion of a chain-link gate at the opening of the culvert(20"RCP).Michele&I found this quite humorous. I don't think its going to work properly.I guess the point of that would to block the beavers from moving through the pipe.Water levels were high. The beaver lodge was noted approximately 100' from Morningside Lane.Based on the information found in the 1996-97 sewer project on these streets,Mike Howard noted that there was a beaver dam on Russett Lane and Morningside. Several trees showed evidence of recent beaver chews. The 4, 1-acre lots on Morningside Ln where the beavers reside are owned by Ben Osgood,Sr. ##135 Meadowview Rd: Beavers were moving further down stream onto the property of Justin Davis and building a small darn within the stream channel.Justin admits that he removed the dam as the water levels were getting high.This stream flows along his property line approximately 100'before disappearing with a BVW.No other beaver activity was noted. No immediate health issue observed. Russett Lane: As previously mentioned,there is a beaver dam on Russett Lane between 128& 110 Russett Lane.We also noticed there was a beaver lodge approximately 25'from the culvert It is not known if the beavers have abandoned this area and moved down stream to Morningside,or if this is another colony of beavers. I believe that the homeowners at 128 Russett Lane own the wetland,as they own 4.64 acres-according to the assessor's records. Possible Solution: Since there is no immediate health risk or property damage,could we discuss the problem with Ben Osgood to see if he would be willing to put forth the money to install a beaver deceiver?
