Wild animals

In Bolton-Est, cohabitation with wild animals is inevitable. We may find them disturbing and even frightening at times, but we mustn't forget that they are also at home. Here are a few resources to help you adopt best practices for sharing your territory.

If you'd like to better control the presence of geese on your property, check out the RAPPEL cooperative website, of which local organization Les Amis du lac Trousers is a member.

Certain beaver management measures have been put in place to deal with the obstruction of watercourses that can threaten the safety of people and/or property.

The aim of these measures is to restore the normal flow of water. They therefore do not apply to :

Dams erected in a pond or lake, where the water is stagnant;
Dams that do not impede the normal flow of water in a watercourse;
Dams that do not pose a risk to people or property (buildings, infrastructure, etc.).

If you believe that a beaver dam poses a problem and is likely to cause damage to buildings, infrastructure or essential property, or to threaten human health or safety, you must contact the municipality.

Although its dams can sometimes cause headaches for humans, the beaver is a very useful animal for keeping our ecosystems healthy and helping to manage water-related problems.
