There will be a lot of people out there who are not going to like this,” says Gow. “They like to do things very slowly and consider every option, have another cup of tea, have another Kipling cake, have another wee chat in four months’ time. If we keep on course with this we’ll be left living on a planet full of pigeons and dogs on the beaten-down crust of our own excrement.” You can infill beaver channels without a licence if infilling them will not affect a burrow or lodge. Actions in, or close to, a watercourse or risk management structure may need a permit from the appropriate risk management authority. a b c d e f g h i j k l Baker, B. W.; Hill, E. P. (2003).

Permits and consents for activities in these areas are independent of planning permission. The type of permit or consent will depend on the type of activity and whether it is on main river or an ordinary watercourse.

It also makes it an offence to use any trap or snare for the purpose of killing, taking or restraining beavers. It is also an offence to set a trap or snare in place to cause injury to a beaver. Beavers are mainly nocturnal and crepuscular, and spend the daytime in their shelters. In northern latitudes, beaver activity is decoupled from the 24-hour cycle during the winter, and may last as long as 29 hours. They do not hibernate during winter, and spend much of their time in their lodges.

They also dig burrows and channels into banks of waterbodies (for example, a lake, river or stream), fell trees and build lodges and dams, which may cause: a b Kaufman, Amy (May 8, 2011).

You must not damage or destroy a burrow, lodge or a dam associated with a burrow or lodge while carrying out land management activities. You will need to monitor the water levels if a dam supports the channel you need to infill. How to fill in channels Fryxell, J. M.; Doucet, C. M. (1993).

S2CID 5364807.The Belarusian emergency services said they have received a rash of reports of aggression by beavers, which can weigh up to 30kg (65lbs) and stand about a metre (3ft) high. Officials have responded to some calls by sending out crews to drive away the animals, often by spraying them with water from a fire hose.
