Follow the Beaver Code
Stay alert: Beavers are quite easy to see if you spend time in the right areas. Mostly nocturnal, during the summer they can be seen in daylight hours
Leave your dog at home: Beavers have an excellent sense of smell and can perceive dogs as a threat
If you take your dog, keep it under control and on a lead, especially in the breeding season between May and July
Respect any landowners and other river users
Keep your distance and stay on any designated paths
