Beaver Flow Device Funding

Thanks to a grant from the Nion Robert Thieriot Foundation, the MSPCA is able to provide funding to assist with installation of water flow devices to humanely, non-lethally, and ecologically mitigate beaver-related flooding in Berkshire County or Franklin, Hampden, or Hampshire Counties.

Who can participate? Any individual, town, business, or organization in Berkshire County or Franklin, Hampden, or Hampshire Counties.

What are the criteria? A willingness (of all parties involved) to resolve problems non-lethally for the long term, a site that is conducive to flow device usage, and permission of the landowners and the local Conservation Commission to install water flow devices.

How do I request assistance?  Send a description of your conflict site(s) and the limitations of your budget to the MSPCA for consideration (see form link below). Starting in the spring, we will evaluate applications as they are submitted.

Funding assistance: The amount of funding offered to each applicant will depend on the number of requests, the amount of each viable request, and the ability of each requester to pay for part of the flow device. We do not award funding for maintenance plans.

Deadline: Requests will be accepted throughout the year until funding is exhausted. Requests will be considered in the order in which they are received, but financial need can play a role in some cases where funding is limited.

Send requests or any questions to: Melissa Ekvall at mekvall@mspca.org

You may also mail requests to: MSPCA, Attn: Melissa Ekvall – Advocacy, 350 S. Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, 02130 (mailed requests will take longer to process).
