If this movie doesn’t spend time talking about the millions of beavers we trapped out of the Colorado river, and the terrible impact that had on banks and silt and waterstorage, I will be very disappointed. His son who produced this film, lives in Fairfax apparently. What are the odds that he never heard about the Martinez Beavers?

Airport fix includes tree removal, beaver dam mitigation

An almost reassuring report from Oregon where an airport has set aside ‘money’ to remove a beaver dam, but not to trap them or install a flow device. No word yet on whether the airport has heard the ‘eensy weensy spider song” or  is aware that beavers rebuild.

“There is a good population of beavers east of the airport,” Wallace said. “If they aren’t doing any direct damage to the airport, we don’t bother with them, but if their dam construction affects the area, we will take the dams out and we have done that from time to time.”
