Watch out for Beavers!

We actually didn't *see* a beaver today, but Eddie and I saw the damage from one in the North Woods today. It has completely taken out 4 small trees (<1" diameter) by the creek and has chewed all the way around a hackberry tree (~10" diameter). So, watch out for beavers at LREC!

Tuesday afternoon Jan 31, a New City School student found a" "beaver stick "in the prairie with unmistakable beaver teeth marks on the end and also on the side. We also found what we think may well be beaver tracks in the mud near the stick location. Much excitement, looking in the track books and the discussion continued onto the bus. "Can I sit next to you so w can talk about beavers", was heard.
