Dang, send them to me. We’ve been trying to reintroduce beavers up at higher elevations but it’s not going well

Fuck ‘em beavers. They kept causing problems at the camp I worked at by plugging up the spillway on one of the ponds

where we are the beaver were extirpated for a while and the reintroduction used beaver that were very overactive. this was going to flood out tons of native wetland plants

Same for me, they flooded a section of campground by clogging the huge sluice pipes that ran under the road. Major pain in the ass, every time we cleared it they’d rebuild overnight
