Beaver striped bark off of tree, all the way around #750360

Asked May 17, 2021, 11:17 AM EDT

Hi, a beaver striped the bark off of two large trees, from the ground up its about 2ft or so and its striped pretty much all the way around the trees.  Is there any way to save these trees?

Thank you for contacting us with your question David.  With the amount of damage to your trees by the beavers the chance of the trees failing to thrive and die is fairly high.  I am including a link to the University of Nebraska article on controlling beaver damage for additional information:  https://extensionpublications.unl.edu/assets/html/g1434/build/g1434.htm
