A beaver (or beavers?) moved into the creek deep in the woods behind my house last fall, and I am SO excited about the beautiful pond they are building.
I will report back in a few weeks with more pictures! Also will probably be spamming them all over Lemmy because I just cannot shut up about how cool they are 😅
I LOVE beaver dams! And you get to observe how the ecosystem changes over time. I’m mad jealous.
There’s one by the Navy base trails, but the little fuckers built a new one upstream that you can’t see from the official path. But you can still clearly see how the entire area changed into a pond/swamp. There’s another by my camp, but I can’t get there anymore without dire “PRIVATE PROPERTY” signs having gone up.
Yes! The ecosystem changes are what I’m most excited about. Not so much the mosquito swarms the next year or two, but once the rest of the food chain moves in it’ll be wonderful! I have seen a heron a couple times in the swampier parts of the creekbed and if he becomes a consistent visitor to the area I’ll be over the moon.

Where can I subscribe to regular updates on their progress?

Please do!
They got plans and I am in love with them
