Forty years ago, restoration workers thought logs were the problem. They were wrong.

    I would think just getting a few family of beavers in there and they could get all those logs in that river for cheaper right? My local town is using goats to clear public parks of weeds…

        What about for weight loss? Car insurance?

        I still think we should release wolves in the US Congress first. If that doesn’t work, we can try beavers.

      Helicopters dump 6000 beavers into Pacific Northwest rivers…

      I wonder how much 6000 beavers cost anyway?

      Could be laying the groundwork for beavers to move in and establish themselves easier.

      If the beavers are in a particular area, maybe. But also sounds like the logs were not in the same setup that beavers put them.
