Correction - Park Board committee hears public testimony on beaver trapping

A story in Tuesday’s edition of the Havre Daily News about a Hill County Park Board committee hearing comments on control of beaver in Beaver Creek Park characterized Lou Hagener as a long-time advocate of non-lethal control of beaver. Hagener said that early in his natural resources management carreer he was a tacit supporter of lethal trapping but, after 40 years in the business, came to realize he was being closed-minded and that natural processes are something to work with and not against.
