Beavers are back in New York City. I think this is good news:

I wonder if they can find enough trees to make dams, and what is more, what will happen when they start cutting down too many trees or better yet, start knawing on things they shouldn't.

As a Canadian who has tramped about in the bush on occasion, I have seen what beavers can do to trees, I know how fast beavers can multiply, and the damage they can do to a watercourse. IT isn't damage of course in the bush, but in the city, beavers chewing down fence posts, nicely planted trees and flooding out part of rivers that are not meant to be flooded can just be a pain.

I wonder, I have some more imports we can send the people of NYC, Raccoons are a nuisance of epic proportions in Toronto, maybe the people of NYC want a few of them too???
