Beavers What to do with them?
There are Beavers at the back of the property, not sure what to do with them. Does anyone have any idea of the impact they can do to 121 acres of pure forest? are they a problem when developing Silvopasture or they are helping the forest.

If the site is wetland/marginal wetland and attractive to beavers, then it's potential for silvopasturing is relatively low compared to better upland sites that you may have on the property.
A good fact sheet that addresses beaver control: http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?a=2723&q=325970
