Mom beaver is looking much worse and appears to be at the end of her remarkable life. After 6 years, multiple dam washouts, a block of sheetpile and at least 15 children she seems to be in her final days. Beavers generally try not to die in the lodge, and mom appears to be staying to the banks, curling up weakly. Worth A Dam could use your help keeping an eye out for her today and tomorrow. We want to make sure she is not bothered or harassed and that we know what happens to her. If you have any time today please stop by the dam and let us know what you see. Our goal is to give her the most comfortable and natural death possible. The kits are old enough now that they will likely be fine. One was seen being cared for by a yearling last night. I’ll write more when we know more. Mom may rally and recover, but we need to do the best we can to keep her safe and comfortable for now.
