OREGON – Whether it’s a duck or a beaver, Oregon has some great mascots and one is getting some much-needed protection.
The new law dubbed the ‘Beaver Bill’ goes into effect July 1.
Under HB 3464, it makes it much harder to kill a beaver, as they will now be classified as furbearers rather than predators.
Although it won’t affect the hunting season or trapping on public lands, it’s still a step toward protecting population growth.
