Abstract: A removable culvert grate for placement adjacent the inflow end of a culvert. The grate includes a vertical grate having a plurality of slats to prevent the flow of beaver workings or similar debris therethrough, and a horizontal platform extending outwardly from the lower edge of the vertical platform. A linkage bar is provided extending from the upper edge of the vertical grate for connection to a power source such as a winch. The grate may be placed adjacent the inflow of a culvert, and, after beavers have constructed a dam or similar debris has collected against the vertical grate, the unit may be lifted by a winch carried in a pick-up truck or similar vehicle, carrying with it the debris.
