Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Day: September 28, 2017


07Alright, I am committing our rascally beaver resources to having the festival next year in Susanna Street Park in June and featuring the chalky and amazing talents of Amy Gallaher Hall. There were a lot of pluses and minuses to add in in finally picking a date, the helpers on vacation this date and fiddlers on vacation another. I’ve had no response from our sound guy, but I’ve connected with another and it’s finally done. DONE. (I mean except for all the actual preparation and organizing.) Decisions are the hardest part. Now point me in a direction and it can happen. What was once the first saturday of August in a scruffy park filled with homeless will now be the last saturday of June in a historic and shady park filled with old trees.

announceIn the meantime I heard from a city council member that it was definitely NOT city staff that took out the dams, and was probably a neighbor who was concerned about them. I only know one neighbor whose property touches both dams and that’s the Junior High. So my efforts to soften things last year weren’t as convincing as that big tree the beavers took down and hit another neighbor’s garage, which was very convincing indeed.

Ouch.

In the meantime there was no depredation permit, the beavers are safe and just starting over which they know how to do. And there are lots of beaver explorers hiking around concord wanting to check out that new dam, including Moses and Cheryl so that’s exciting. I made a poster for our upcoming wild birds event, because I figure if there are any people who will protect beavers in Concord, it’s them.
