It is said that all roads lead to Rome which has come to mean that there are lots of different methods that can lead you to the same conclusion but comes from the fact that once upon a time in fact most of the roads that lasted were built by the Romans and lead from or to their ever expanding empire.
The saying refers to the vast network of roads built up during the course of Rome’s history, which stretched for more than 250,000 miles (400,000 km) at the height of the Roman Empire. These roads connected the capital with all parts of its empire—from Scotland in the north to Egypt in the south; from Portugal in the west to Syria in the east.
Of course where I sit it seems equally possible to say that ALL ROADS LEAD TO BEAVERS. Because you come to an interest in them by their impact on salmon, or their impact on soil, or their impact on water storage in general, there is plenty to hold your attention. There are beaver converts of pretty much every ilk, and the permaculture believers are huge fans as you can see in this short film.
Works for me.
