UK Beavers

Should be interesting to see how they get on. It's the wimpy 'non-American' variety.

There is a dry cleaning business down the street from my house called "Beaver Cleaners" .

Maybe it's out topic, or continent, but when I visited Canada I have been in dozens of places called 'Beaver Creek', 'Beaver Cove', ecc, never saw a beaver!

The UK went along without beavers for 500 years???? That explains a lot...

Looks like these imported beavers are German. Another Saxon invasion !

Just be sure that they don't start introducing the American Beaver:

".....and the beavers could also help keep waterways clear of debris."

Actually they build dams that block streams and creeks that cause flooding.

In New York State they are happy to provide permits to "trap" beavers that cause blockages. Those traps are set out and then checked two weeks later. Usually, in those two weeks, those beavers either drown or starve to death. It's a way that the State uses to avoid the stigma of shooting ( thus outright killing ) beavers. If people think they are just trapped, it's humane.
