Beavers prefer green "round stock" for building— after they've chewed the bark off it, that is.
"Ice-Out" might be the best time to put protective netting around your favorite trees, though.
Oops...Never mind...
Final Score...Beaver: 1 Protective netting: 0

I put up chicken wire around my trees, 3 feet high seems to do the trick. My neighbor had a tree that was chewed of at the bottom but was tied to another tree about 6 feet up so it didn't fall. You know what those devilish beavers did - they climbed above the tie off and chewed the tree off so it would fall - UNBELIEVABLE!
