I see the Beavers are very keen on Leave No Trace...

[Cobweb]

I'm glad they are thriving :)

[Gavmar]

Are they going to become a problem in the future. If they thrive.
Example destroying young sapplings.

[nodd]

The beaver is a keystone species that has been absent for hundreds of years. From the habitat conservation point view, they will improve habitats for other species their actions of taking down small trees and saplings has the effect of natural coppicing.As the species they like re shoot from the stump left.
Its great to see them back.

Yes, they make lovely waistcoats too - I'm not joking - I have one. Nothing wrong with wearing the skin of pest species or meat - thats what leather is (and beaver is a pest in other places).

That said, lovely to see Beaver back!
