  • Hello,
    This dam stops 2 reclamation canals. You can see it in drone view. Also this affects the fields, so it would damage the various cultures of grains.

    Beavers stop the water flow OVER the dam b/c of the sound it makes. Noise inspires them to build taller. When an underwater pipe is installed, it keeps water flowing and them happy.

    Great to see you doing the best thing of all, which is treading back and forth, releasing the mud with your boots and allowing the current to erode it away. As you know sticks are only the top of the dam, the beavers make the core out of mud and stones.

      I was thinking the same thing. Once he removed all the sticks and wood it seemed like an awful lot of effort was needed with the rake. I would think using the pickaxe to loosen things up and then raking would make things easier. It would also help in getting all the way down. I've noticed the dams removals still tend to leave the upstream side higher than downstream which means there is more that could be removed.
