Default Beavers

We have a beaver dam down by the end of our little lake. I am trying to grow trees and whatever along the shore in front of my place for erosion control. I am espcially fond of a little clump of birches down by the dock... one of which was attacked by a beaver recently...gnawed the tree right through until it fell. Then it was left there. It wasn't even dragged back to the dam! On occasion we have heard wolves or coyotes howling back and forth to each other at night up in the Belknaps. It is very eerie! I've also seen a fox in the area of Alton Mountain.
