Damn beaver dams

County commissioners say beavers are becoming a problem in portions of the county and have asked the road department to see what they can do about it.

Beavers tend to get active this time of year but generally they aren’t a problem.

But sometimes they build their dams in waterways or ditches that affect streets and homes.

Commissioner Cheryl Sanders has asked that the county road department work with a state beaver trapper to help catch the animals.

She said right now beavers are out in full force and it’s not easy to catch them.

Road camp supervisor Hubert Chipman said he has already had to deal with one beaver dam this week on lighthouse road and was aware of a number of other places where beavers are at work.
