Bet the dam beaver didn't even have a demolition permit. Beastly behavior.

Wasteful beavers only build housing for their own family, not multi-family units.

Ward, your being a little rough on the beaver.

My thought was "Really? You can't just move the top of the tree off the path yourself!? Park maintenance will clean it up on their regular rounds. Doesn't need a special dispatch."

And kudos to park maintenance - it's gorgeous there!

Maybe the odd dude who's been cutting branches and trees
for the last several years will cut the branches for the beaver.
The dude comes after the park closes and runs around
cutting whatever he likes - he says, to help the beavers.
If you look at the damn at the bridges, you can see all the cut ends - man made, not beaver.

that concerned.

There are people who can't just move that - for instance, those of us who are disabled and/or elderly. Same people who might not be able to just go around it, especially if in a wheelchair or using crutches.

This is only the beginning. She is eager to protect the beaver, and doesn't see the potential downside for the forest or its trees.
