The UK has also been trialling this, and of course the farmers are moaning about it.

Conservationists call beavers "ecosystem engineers" because of how they redesign where they live. The dams they build slow the flow of rivers and streams and create habitats where other creatures can thrive. They've also been credited with reducing flooding further downstream.

the National Farmers Union ... wants culling beavers to be an option if they prove disruptive.

NFU Deputy President David Exwood said that while beavers could provide certain benefits, "we are concerned about the negative impacts beavers can have on productive farmland, as well as the management requirements, costs and risks involved".

I see no mention of the destructive effect of Beavers on your budget.
