Beaver Highway

© 2017 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

 

I snowshoed out to this spot where a wetland has been created by beavers. Though the snow is thick and heavy, the beavers have kept an area of water open by their constant activity. They have a large dam that has helped create this wetland, and just to the left of this frame is a large lodge that they built in such a way that they can access it from underneath (still in the water) to avoid predators. Their ability to transform an ecosystem is really pretty amazing. You can see what I added and what I dropped from my kit in 2016 (and why) here: bit.ly/DADrop
