If you find a beaver, especially if it's orphaned or injured, it's crucial to contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for assistance. Do not attempt to handle the beaver yourself, as they can be unpredictable and it's best to allow professionals to handle the situation.



Here's what to do if you find a beaver:
  1. 1. Stay Safe:
    Beavers are wild animals and can be dangerous, especially if they feel threatened. Avoid approaching or touching the beaver.

  • 2. Contact Professionals:
    Reach out to a local wildlife rehabilitation center like Think Wild or a similar organization that specializes in wild animal rescue.


  • 3. If the Beaver is Injured:
    If the beaver is visibly injured, contained (if possible) and transport it to the rehabilitation center.


  • 4. If the Beaver is Orphaned:
    If you believe the beaver is orphaned, try to reunite it with its family as soon as possible. This is best done by a licensed rehabilitator.


  • 5. Do NOT Attempt to Raise an Orphaned Beaver:
    Beaver kits have very specific nutritional needs and it's not recommended to raise one on your own.
Important Considerations:
  • Beavers are not pets: They require specialized care and cannot be kept as pets.

  • They are keystone species: Beavers play a vital role in wetland ecosystems and should be handled with care and respect.
  • Relocation is a last resort: Live trapping and relocating beavers is a process that requires specialized equipment and knowledge, as Project Beaver explains
