Beavers store water and improve hydrologic (water) conditions. They increase water storage on the surface as ponds are created and increased in size. This water filters down into the water table and recharges groundwater too. In some places this increase in water storage helps keep streams running that might otherwise go dry in the summer. Beaver lakes/ponds help keep surrounding areas from drying up and becoming fuel for forest fires.
The 3 most common problems associated with beavers are flooding that results from blocked structures (such as culverts like in the video) and damage caused to trees. And degrading/ destabilizing banks for the farmers through burrowing. We don’t completely get rid of every single one, but enough to keep them in check. As this video has been out, they have already rebuilt. Also as long as we can keep the water in the channel we don’t disturb them. When It causes erosion is when we intervene. We have to step lightly as some government agencies ie. Corp of Engineers want no beavers while Fish and Wildlife/ Conservation don’t want anything disturbed. Sorry for the long answer lol. Thanks for watching!
Because it would eventually lead to flooding fields with stagnant, rotten water. It has to be flushed every so often. Doing it during the warm months doesn't threaten the beavers either as they'll rebuild. It's when people drain them during the winter when beavers are impacted badly.
Beaver dams preserving water makes absolute sense but the world wouldn’t be the world if man didn’t destroy and shortsightedly interfere with the natural run of things.
No, they do not dwell within these structures. Instead, they often live in oven-shaped lodges made of sticks, grass, moss and mud built in or on the shore of the ponds their dams created. You can see one of the beavers swim down stream later on in the video! The dams are already rebuilt by now
We do leave the beavers alone, I’ve never seen one inside as we have cleaned the dam out, neither have the ran out, normally we do these jobs really early, and we catch them working taking trees down or gathering. There’s another video I’ve posted where the beaver is building elsewhere. We don’t catch them our kill them, just keep them in line to where we can plant trees to reclaim and get back to the land without standing water. Just give them other jobs to look forward to. Thanks for watching!

Real curious to see that amount of water arrive much further down stream
The thumb nail had me cracking up. The beaver in the bottom right hand corner. Great video btw.
Thanks for checking it out!
Man! That was a GOOD VIDEO!! TNX!!! BLESSINGS!

yeah sure, but mankind is far too money orientated...especially Americans....sad.....
Watching from Tucson Arizona
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
The beavers are thanking you for Leaving the damn material next to the channel so that they rebuild it again the next night
Oh yes! called steady income. Not to get rid of, but to control every so often
This is dam removal I can watch and enjoy.
Thanks for checking it out!
Good video,
Thank you!
Why dont you want the water retention? It seems that would be a good thing around farm land.

There is, at times, too much of a good thing. Such as water flooding fields
Because it would eventually lead to flooding fields with stagnant, rotten water. It has to be flushed every so often. Doing it during the warm months doesn't threaten the beavers either as they'll rebuild. It's when people drain them during the winter when beavers are impacted badly.
It’s only where flooding occurs and buggers up the farmland.
Awesome stuff! Looks fun haha.
Thanks for checking it out!
Great job thanks!!

Cool video. Stay safe out there.
Thank you! And for sure! Thanks for checking it out
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. From Brazil.
Thanks for checking it out!
Start at the bottom …
That beaver was a funny looking long legged skinny tailed shot tooth beaver
Very rare breed I hear! Thanks for checking it out
Lighten that excavator when you turn it..🤦♂️
We try majority of the time! I’ll give the operator your tips. Thanks for watching
Why?
is it possible the beavers are in that section and are being killed? Thanks.
No, they do not dwell within these structures. Instead, they often live in oven-shaped lodges made of sticks, grass, moss and mud built in or on the shore of the ponds their dams created. You can see one of the beavers swim down stream later on in the video! The dams are already rebuilt by now
Why are you destroying those precious beaver dams? They are good for the environment. You should be arrested and put in jail.
Jail time is kinda extreme! LOL but they are messing with farmers fields! Wait until the next one! We have more to tell. Thanks for watching!
Do yall get the beaver out before you take out dams,here in North Carolina I catch the beaver first
We do leave the beavers alone, I’ve never seen one inside as we have cleaned the dam out, neither have the ran out, normally we do these jobs really early, and we catch them working taking trees down or gathering.
