WDFW Beaver Relocation Trainings 2026
- April 20, 2026 – Winthrop, Washington
- June 8, 2026 – Winthrop, Washington
- June 16, 2026 – Tulalip, Washington
The WDFW Beaver Relocation Permit Program was developed in collaboration with Tulalip Tribes and the Methow Okanogan Beaver Project. This program offers an alternative to lethal removal when all other mitigation and coexistence options have been exhausted. Permitted relocators are citizens who work in riparian restoration, seasonal and permanent employees with environmentally-focused non-profits, or wildlife control operators – but anyone over the age of 18 with no recent wildlife infractions can become a beaver relocator. Three training dates will be provided in 2026. Topics covered will include release site selection, coexistence practices, trap setting and trap maintenance, transportation of trapped beavers, care and feeding of captive beavers, and beaver holding facility construction and setup.

The theme of Day 1 is Restoring ecological functions for multi-species benefits. The theme of Day 2 is Jump-starting process-based restoration. Both days will feature case studies of real-world examples of successful projects from along the U.S. West Coast. There is no cost to attend but register to save your place!
Save the Date! Lake Ozette Grassroots Vegetation Removal Project
July 13 – 15, 2026
Join our 5th annual “Grassroots” effort to remove vegetation that is encroaching on critical lakeshore habitat for threatened Lake Ozette sockeye salmon. Volunteers will ride in a boat across the lake to the work site at Olsen’s beach and use hand tools to clear vegetation from the shoreline. This effort is organized by the Makah Tribe, Olympic National Park, and the Coast Salmon Partnership.
