A study was conducted along the lower Chippewa River in west central Wisconsin (45° 50’ N, 92° 00’ W) examined the effects of beaver cutting on forest sucession. Six active feeding sites were located and sampled in the fall of 1983 and spring of 1984. Two or three transects parallel to the bank were established and measured. The diameters at 10 cm above ground level of all cut and uncut stems greater than 2.5 cm diameter and their positions along the transects were recorded by species. The occurrence of both cut and uncut sapling stems (>2.5 and <10.0 cm in diameter) that occurred under the canopy trees were also recorded.
