Beaver dam has Medfield neighborhood warily eyeing rising water
Sigh. Massachusetts again. Complaining about humane trapping restrictions again. Shorter answer to the city of Medfield that has been robustly resisting information and all offers of help on the mysterious subject of beaver dams in late summer:
“It’s like a horror movie.” That’s how one Stagecoach Road resident described the stinking, algae-covered lake threatening to engulf her property, thanks to a beaver dam on the Stop River near South Street.
Yes, exactly like a horror movie. Screaming, helpless victims scattering everywhere. Sawdust and felled trees strewing the streets. Ignorant people run screaming from nature to persuade the authorities to use ray guns to exterminate their last hope for survival. I’m not hopeful about Medfield, since I already wrote everyone involved and they’re about an hour away from Beaver Solutions and they still don’t know better. Still, this handy fact sheet might help with the endless repetition necessary to change a few calcified minds. Click on the picture for the full pdf with references.
