I haven't read all the rules myself, but I know that my boyfriend has. If I recall correctly, you can cut certain things, but only to a certain height. There are ratios that pertain to each 50 sq. ft. of space. i.e. If you take down one tree, you need to put another bush or something equivalent as a replacement. Here's a link to the summary of the changes, but there a larger document than the link that was previously posted on this page outlining all the rules and regs.

With regards to the Beavers, you can call the state, but the trappers won't trap for free in the summer time because the pelts are worthless. If you wait until the early spring, you won't have to pay for a thing as the trappers presumably will trap for the pelt alone. I know they're a little annoying, but when they chomp down a tree, they're clearing the view and this year, I have two uniquely carved walking sticks all compliments of Mr. Beaver and crew.

If all else fails, call the pros who are having to regulate it.

Good luck!
