Beaver dam

As you can see, the dam is getting to be quite a size. At the far (south) end, you can also see where someone has broken the dam. I found lots of debris and branches from the dam tossed into the ravine. This is really stupid. By breaking the dam at that point they are causing the water to run across the trail and it is creating erosion. If the dam was left alone it would contain the water well. I don't know if the person or persons doing it are just plain stupid, hate beaver, or think they are helping. It infuriates me when people take it upon themselves to interfere. There is a lot of that sort of thing at the FWG, and rarely is it for the best.

Breaking the dam is vandalism of nature. Nature provides these guardians(in this case, beavers) of the forest to maintain its health. You are also a guardian of this forest, Christine!!!! VVV

Wow, that's quite the dam. Maybe this will be beneficial for the FWG pond by making it deeper?
