On our first extensive patrol since winter’s demise to the far bog where the latest beaver colony resides, we found many trees being worked on. The den near the snowmobile trail has fresh stripped wood piled on it and scattered around it.
There are small stumps with no trunk left and numerous large trees that have been felled and the trunks remain.
One of the most impressive is a large diameter tree that is only half-way chewed (at right).
