Last summer I was asked if i had any ideas on how to improve analog beaver dams built as a stream enhancement project. Analog dams are human built, these weren't functioning as well as they could and blowing out. (We implemented some beaver like improvements to the dams which are holding up better) I got kind of addicted to watching youtubes of beavers building dams.
This rescued baby beaver knows exactly what to do.

#BeaverDams slow precipitation runoff and stores water in ponds allowing it to slowly seep into the soil, providing summertime moisture. Montana 🇺🇸 is becoming parched in the summer and now people are creating beaver dams to help build up a water supply. #MotherNatureKnowsBest ‼️
