We found a beaver in a tree in our backyard and photographed it, the answer is YES!!!!!!!
Yes, they do occasionally climb trees. I saw a beaver climb a little ways up a sycamore tree near my house. It swam across a small creek, ran up the embankment (I had a great view of its broad, flat tail), and scrambled a few feet up the big tree trunk like a cat would. I had my dog with me, and I think the beaver saw my dog and freaked out.
There is a small wooded area behind my home with a creek near by, I observed a beaver climb 6ft. up a tree then back down. it was identified by its chubby body and dark, wide, flat tail.
Yes. The beaver is North America's larges rodent. The scientific name is Castor canadensis. They can grow over four feet long and weigh up to 60 pounds.
They have very large heavy claws that they use to shred the cambium (soft underbark) of food trees like willow, maple, birch and poplar.

What is the difference between a beaver and a mountain beaver?
Both live near and in water however a beaver is much larger than a muskrat. An adult beaver typically weighs between 40 and 60 pounds. An adult muskrat typically weighs only 2 to 5 pounds. While a beaver has a broad flat tail a muskrat has a thinner more ratlike tail. The muskrat tail actually has some flatness, but vertical like a boat rudder. Muskrats do not cut down trees. Muskrats and beaver are the only mammals that build their home in the water, but the muskrat lodge is smaller. They often dig dens into the bank; again the muskrat opening is smaller. Muskrats do not store food for the winter as beaver do and a harsh winter can greatly decrease a muskrat population. Muskrats are more prolific breeders capable of multiple litters in one season whereas beavers have one litter annually.
