The guide is very good at outlining operational timing restrictions, reserve widths, etc for just about everything. It should be able to provide you with some some well thought out standards and guidelines. The guide is the rule in all of Ontario's forest management plans which are in place within the "area of the undertaking". </div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.ontario.ca/document/forest-management-conserving-biodiversity-stand-and-site-scales">https://www.ontario.ca/document/forest-management-conserving-biodiversity-stand-and-site-scales</a></div><div><br></div><div>Specifically section: <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;">4.2.3 Beaver habitat</span></div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m sure I’m not the only one dealing with the occasional nuisance beaver-related issues for ponds, parklands, and roads. We’ve been dealing with the issues on an ad-hoc basis but we’re now looking to develop a policy/procedure. I’d really
appreciate it if you could send me some examples of how you’re handling the issues and any policy or procedures you’re aware of.
