This is the swamp road on the north edge of the property. We had built this up and installed several culverts. I wanted to bring the sheep down here to access the forage on the other side. Some beavers had other ideas. They plugged the culverts and started building a dam on top of the road to make the water level even higher.
On the far side, the beaver dam was about 2 ft high. Started breaking it apart with the hoe. Need to get the water level down so I can access the entrance to the culverts that are all plugged.
Looking back from the west side, one can see the beavers put a substantial dam in place.
The road seems more sheep friendly after the swamp is drained after a few hours of weed eating. We will see what the sheep think of it next.
Wow! Busy beavers be building! LoL
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel bad wrecking their work, but it was not a good place for us to have a beaver pond.
