  • Hello,
    I was checking area around and find the dam. It was 16:30 time. so evening just started, also was a rainy and windy day. But still I decided to let the water flow there while i was near it. This is reclamation canal. In the video maybe not clear where water is too high, but 500 meters up canal, there are ground level lower, so it affects lands as other dams. I made it deep and narrow. It will be harder for beavers to rebuild it.

    Hi Ken, from my experience of tearing out beaver dams, I start with the most distal one first and tear it down as far as I reasonably can, and keep moving up. I find that I don't have to fight all that much water that way.

  • @richardclayton4091

    You should have raked the stuff on the sides into the current once it was flowing, thats easier than demolishing it by hand. And a small gap like that will get repaired quickly by the beavers. So you can make another video soon... :)

    Mantas, winner of the Dam Removal 101 Certificate level. Looking good, did not take a lot of time to get the water flowing. Keep pulling the sticks and grass, when the white water is gone you will be at the bottom of the dam. Then work from the bottom up removing the sticks to make the gap wider. Make the water work for you let it help you with removing the mud.

    Unless you have a chain saw, it looks like you have to let the dam construction tell you how wide/deep you can go.

    11:00 - Looks like a 20cm drop.
