Every now and then people surprise you. This morning I received an email from the Supervisor of Animal Services in Brampton praising our efforts to save beavers and assuring us that they have used beaver bafflers in the area successfully. I forwarded her email to Tyler and hopeful they can sit down and work out a plan to take care of the beavers at Maitland Park. Nice.
Then last night, (after honoring a ‘beaver tour commitment’ for the silent auction at earth day, I saw this posted on the Beaver Management Forum Facebook page. Aside from being a heartwarming, compassionate example of men using their brains and effort instead of reflexively hiring a trapper, his presentation is technologically impressive and frankly adorable. (I’m thinking that condo has more than a couple newly retired engineers?) Click on the square to see the presentation from Art Wolinsky of Sherwood Glen Condominiums in New Hampshire.
Don’t you wish they were your neighbors? Nice work, Art. I couldn’t understand WHY the beavers would bother building a dam along the road if they could get the same effect by just plugging four culverts. Art explained the road and culverts are new, so that made a little more sense. I am sure this group will figure out a solution in no time.
Oh and this made me smile last night. You might enjoy it too.
