DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is seeking public input on its draft Beaver Conservation and Management Strategy, a plan to increase the sustainability of beavers and their influence on wetlands across the state.
According to CPW, the draft Beaver Strategy includes the following key topics:
Population and habitat status and monitoring
Beaver harvest management
Beaver restoration opportunities
Living with beavers and nonlethal conflict resolution
Translocation policy and protocol
Wildlife officials stress the importance of the Beaver Strategy, highlighting the influence Beavers have on wetlands, which are crucial to healthy stream systems, ecosystems, and the wide range of wildlife that rely on them.
CPW says it will take feedback from now through Dec. 17, and input will be considered by CPW staff to help create the final version of the plan, which should be released in February 2026.
