Thanks to Dan Moriarty for today’s report on beaver activity on the MRG behind the “Miracle Mile” and on the Hypertherm Hope Foundation Trail.
Slope where beavers have slid aspen trees down to the MRG
Gnawed, but still standing tree.
Beaver lodge on far side of the river.
“The current under the Byrne bridge is very fast before it goes over the dam. If you look up river toward Lebanon, the current is still very fast because of the narrow channel near the bridge. It is amazing to me that the beavers can transport the logs up river with the fast current until it gets to the quiet water where they have built their lodge. I didn’t see any active beavers this morning but frequently see them in the river near the Steel Umbrella structure heading upriver toward Gerrish Isle bend in the river.”
