Yesterday was such a beautiful day, I decided to take a walk down by the river. My husband had gone down there a few days ago and had noticed there was a significant amount of damage done to a stand of poplars. Apparently we have a resident group of bank beavers, and over the last couple of months they have been quite busy!
I did not realize just how much damage a group of beavers can do, until I saw all the downed trees. Over half of the trees have been downed, and it did not seem to matter to the beavers what age the trees were. Small ones, big ones, all the same to them. From what I have been told, the beavers like to "cut" down a tree, and then eat the tender shoots at the top.
