The Beaver Returns!

Over the last few days we have noticed some suspicious activity around the lake on #3.  The damage appears to be from a beaver that is coming up stream from across New Salem road.  We have seen similar damage before, so we have a good idea how to trap the pest and prevent any further damage.  I will keep you posted on what we find and if we get lucky and catch the perpetrator!

If you look closely at the edge of the pond something has eaten the edge clean for about 1 foot wide.  Notice in the bottom of the picture the grass goes all the way to the water, but as you move up it is bare dirt. This is not very timely since the grass is dormant and will not grow back until next summer!

In the middle of the picture you can see a dirt trail.  This is the "slide" the beaver is using to get from the stream behind #12 green, up over the dam and into the pond.  We will set our traps near this slide
