(Tomasito photo, Spring 2008)Beaver Dam
This beaver dam was on a little brook that runs into the Sacramento River about three blocks from our apartment.
The dam was kind of isolated, of course, or it would not last long.
It stood in pretty good shape last spring and through most of the summer, but now it is pretty much destroyed.
The location is rather near the local high school and I suppose the kids couldn't stand having something natural about.
The beavers seem to be gone too. Dogs? Shooters? Anyway they have given up on repairing the dam and have disappeared.
We saw the same thing happen on a tiny neighborhood stream we lived near in Roseville, near Sacramento a couple of years ago--except there the land was cleared to build some commercial buildings.
Isn't it kind of a shame?
