When it comes to designing wildlife habitat, there are few things more efficient than a beaver. That’s good news for property owners who want to attract a diverse population of Maine animals and birds to their property. According to wildlife biologists, just about everything the beaver does improves its surroundings for other animals. “To some people they are a problem and others are stoked when beavers come on to their land. Since they are the Tom Brady of wildlife, we try to strike a balance that helps people and the beavers,” said Keel Kemper, regional wildlife biologist with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
