OR ask all neighbors to sign a waiver to hold the school not liable for any flooding.

Talk is cheap... Levy would fail and not one land owner would take the risk.

Game over.... People are soo stupid.

Could be a lifetime job for a WCO trapping and moving the same beavers over and over. :chuckle:

- Do not place signs announcing traps in the area - duh
- Do not set koro-type traps where people are likely to trigger them and get hurt
- Camouflage your Koro traps with light branches, weeds or grass (some wiser beaver seem to insist on this, lol)
- Check traps in high-traffic areas EARLY each morning
- Don't upset the public by saying dumb things like "...shoot it in the head."
