The Human Beaver Coexistence Fund (HBCF) educates the public about the benefits of coexisting with beavers and provides resources and financial support to address human-beaver conflict using nonlethal management strategies. We accomplish this mission by offering a cost-share incentive program to help landowners and managers pay for beaver coexistence projects of two types: Tree Protection: Funds will support landowners in purchasing the materials needed to deter beavers from chewing and felling trees. Flow Device Installation: Funds will support landowners installing flow devices to address flooding damage caused by beaver damming behavior.
