<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">October Workshops: Resolving Conflicts with Roadside Beaver<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) and USDA-Wildlife Services (USDA-WS) are offering two beaver site modification classes in October; the programs are linked here: <a href="https://memun.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a02f393074759f75f41c3db2a&id=1bfb12127e&e=3c38a97ff5" target="_blank">October
7 in Bar Harbor</a> and <a href="https://memun.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a02f393074759f75f41c3db2a&id=fb53c9c47b&e=3c38a97ff5" target="_blank">October 16 in Newfield</a> . The daylong program has a classroom component followed by an exercise in the
field where participants build and install a beaver deterrence structure (by hand) at an existing chronic roadside problem site.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The workshop is free but pre-registration is required.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Previous workshops (7 total) have all been well attended. Registration is limited to 30.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The training is tailored for persons whose work involves assessing and resolving roadside beaver conflicts. Though a participant may not be installing deterrence structures themselves, the program covers
what to look for when assessing a beaver problem and how to address a chronic problem site. And they will learn about beaver biology and ecology which are essential to finding permanent solutions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Participants need to register using the e-mail address in the programs: <span style="color:blue"><a href="mailto:cthulsey@icloud.com"><span style="color:blue">cthulsey@icloud.com</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
