Jon tries his hand at a demonstration model for the festival. Still thinking about a recirculating pump?

By the beaver pond grass just grows greener
The frogs, birds and crickets sing keener
The dam as they built ‘er
Will act like a filter
So beaver ponds make water cleaner.

In the west we are all water’s keeper

We’ve come to fear drought like the reaper

But something saves water

For your son and daughter

And beaver ponds make water deeper

The trout seem to be getting bolder

Each day they grow fatter and older

The pond’s hefty size

Makes groundwater rise

‘Cuz  beaver ponds make water colder
