Beaver Management Assistance Program in Beaufort County

BEAUFORT COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) — A new resource is available for Beaufort County landowners in need of assistance managing beaver damage on their property.

In May, the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners entered into the North Carolina Beaver Management Assistance Program which is administered by the USDA Wildlife Serves and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

The program provides landowners the opportunity for beaver management assistance at cost-shared rates of $25 a visit with up to 15 visits per year and $150 per dam removed. There’s also an initial consultation free of charge and guidance on addressing beaver damage.

BMAP replaces the Beaufort County Beaver Bounty Program which started in 2004 and experienced a steady decrease in participation over time.

Any Beaufort County residents interested in BMAP services should contact the Beaufort Soil and Water Conservation District’s office by calling 252-946-4989 or emailing ann.williams@beaufortcountync.gov or nathaniel.woolard@beaufortcountync.gov .
