Beaver removal is essential, at least most of the time.
I would think most legitimate animal damage control work would be considered essential as well.

Mole calls are coming in left and right...got just over 120 mole and vole stops active right now...plus bat removal and bird control services are high right now...no mandatory stay home orders in Iowa
I will be doing some beaver removal. Social distancing, because I am all alone doing it.
Try to keep the 6 foot minimal distance, especially with skunks!

Skunks have a way of violating that social distancing by cheating in using projectile droplet delivery as you know.

For outdoor wildlife work, especially beaver, we don't really come in contact with people, not much danger of kung flu, so no reason not to keep working. Danger is the grocery store. I thought I heard they called of NWCOS in Colorado, not sure?
Yes, I am working.
My nuisance wildlife trapping services are considered to be an essential service.
My various land management services are also considered to be an essential service because most of them result in some food production.

When you aren't trapping I bet you are busy making lure.
