Beavers make their way through the city by traversing the city's waterways. The city of Toronto government, and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) do not keep track of the number of beavers residing in Toronto, [81] although an estimate from 2001 places the local beaver population at several hundred.

The beavers are then put into a bunker where they wait until they're released into drought- and fire-prone areas with the hopes that they'll create their own colonies.
Beavers are associated with activity and environmental engineering. If you are “as busy as a beaver,” you are getting things done. These aquatic rodents spend most of their time in the water ...
A new policy that went into effect last month encourages landowners and agencies dealing with beaver damage to seek solutions California aims to tap beavers, once viewed as a nuisance, to help ...
Beavers hold a very specific biological niche in the ecosystem: constructing dams across river systems. Niche construction is the ecological process by which an organism alters its own (or another species') local environment. These alterations can be a physical change to the organism’s environment, or it can encompass the active movement of ...
A beaver dam or beaver impoundment is a dam built by beavers; it creates a pond which protects against predators such as coyotes, wolves and bears, and holds their food during winter. These structures modify the natural environment in such a way that the overall ecosystem builds upon the change, making beavers a keystone species and ecosystem ...
It is hoped that Wilson and Willow will transform the ecosystem and their impact will be tracked.
Despite being widespread in some beaver-inhabited areas, beaver canals and their environmental effects are much less studied than beaver dams. Beaver primarily develop canals to increase accessibility of river resources, facilitate transport of acquired resources, and to decrease the risk of predation. Beaver canals can be over 0.5 km in length ...
