Great news from our friends at the Sierra Wildlife Coalition. Seems they were asked to help out a nursery in Truckee. (That’s Truckee California where they once happily killed many beavers because “they were not native.” ) She posted these pictures on the Beaver Management Forum yesterday.
We installed a Pond Leveler (2 smaller 8″ ones) for a Nursery in Truckee, CA, that has a beaver pond in its back yard. With a couple of minor adjustments, it’s working perfectly, the pond has lowered about 9″-10″ and re-exposed stone steps to an island in the pond…. the owners and beavers are happy.
Apparently the beavers had raised the pond so much that their beautiful path stones were submerged in the water. No matter. Ted and Sherry Guzzi knew just what to do!
A good days work and a few tweaking touches and things were all squared away. The beavers were fine with the adjustment and the nursery could get back to normal. Another problem solved.
Just in time for the duck to take a nap! Oh and in case this awesome tale (tail) of beaver success isn’t inspiring enough, here’s the Very Best Part.
Best part is that our group was recommended by both the Town of Truckee and CA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife!
Great work, Sherry and Ted! Can I get an Amen?
One more job today (that I will do several times in the days to come as penance) is to correct a mistake. I apparently posted the wrong graph for the recent historic prevalence article and Eli wishes I could fix it so it would stop coming up on google searches. I deleted the bad one from every place I could think of, but apparently it’s still in the ether and pops up from time to time. I’m thinking that if the right one gets clicked on a few hundred times over the next few days it will supplant the interloper. So I’m posting it here and asking you to please click here and help rescue me from my incompetence. Then again, maybe you know a secret way to get rid of the wrong one, in which case you should email me.
