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

Nothing to see here…


Just an old ditch where the flood waters run, brought to you by the Alhambra drainage channel…trash and debris, no wildlife to speak of, certainly not a baby muskrat the size of a potato…

Or turtles lurking about…

Or beavers…or that other weird thing that doesn’t show up at .23.

No fish could live in that storm drain, or anything that eats fish.

I don’t know what you’re all looking at. Haven’t you seen a storm drain before?

Here’s another story where crazy folk insist there’s wildlife at a beaver dam.

Resident upset pond drainage will displace beaver, heron

The Toll Bar Park stormwater management pond is scheduled to be drained this week and that doesn’t sit well with neighbourhood resident Raman Katari.

The Town of Richmond Hill will assume control of the pond, but not before sediments on the bottom are removed and the pond is cleaned. Therefore, the eco-system in and around the pond will need to temporarily move, which includes, beavers, blue heron, ducks and fish.

At least ducks and herons can fly to different water options in town and the hope is the resident Toll Bar beavers will relocate further down the German Mills Creek, which feeds into the pond. Fish on the other hand, might have a bit of a problem.

“There are no fish living in there,” said Lynn Barkey, Baif development manager. “Everything else can move.”
