UPDATE: Kit woken by loud machinery, spotted outside lodge. 8:45 am
Hess and the city braved the Holiday Conditions are are on site this morning beginning the tree topping work. They are removing three trees in the line of installation (not willow) and topping the willow on both banks. In conversation with Dave Scola and the inspector this morning we were promised that any cuttings will be laid on the Marina Vista side for removal. What the beavers will eat we are welcome to remove, what they won’t can be hauled away or used for cover on the lodge.
Last night Cheryl pointed out some netting that was blocking one of the entrances to their new tunnel by the second dam. Jon removed it so that the beavers could safely manage.
This picture shows the beginnings of their new tunnel.
