Today the WQCP and EMO Interns protected a handful of Cottonwoods that were damaged from beaver chewing using the sand-paint method. This method consists of a sand and paint mixture. It is used to deter further chewing and prevent tree felling. The WQCP has already implemented this method earlier this year and it remains effective with little-to-no maintenance.
For more information about beavers or our coexistence efforts, please reach out to the Water Quality Control Program staff. (Listed on our website and linked in our bio www.bishoppaiuteenvironmental.net)
Lastly, shoutout to our interns—Braydon and Marcus—for completing this work and creating this reel!
