Relocating the Capser Trail Beavers to Beaver Hollow on Compton Road north of Bayfield
/Ken Myhre from Madeline Island Trails delivers a yearling to Bayfield..
Madeline Island Trails and Friends of the North Creek Wetlands have been working on a joint project the last few days to relocate the 2 adult and 2 yearling beavers from near the Capser Trail Bridge to a new home at Beaver Hollow, where it is hoped they will repopulate an empty lodge. The two young beavers were trapped and transferred first. Today one of the adults was released into Beaver Hollow — a fun job for the two interns from Northland College who are working at Beaver Hollow this season. Hopefully the remaining adult beaver will be trapped and transferred soon.
