Thank you so much for posting that information! Although it still upsets me to see them all lying there dead atleast I know they are put to a good cause.

Since this thread came back to life ...

Maybe the beaver we saw last Sunday on the ice in Alton was looking for some of the "trash" left in Meredith. Either some frozen fish ("gimme that filet 'o' fish") or the leftover firewood seen below ... (4/5/09)

Most of what you've circled is "dimensional stock" (dried construction stock).

Beavers prefer green "round stock" for building—after they've chewed the bark off it, that is.

"Ice-Out" might be the best time to put protective netting around your favorite trees, though.

Oops...Never mind...

Final Score...Beaver: 1 Protective netting: 0

I put up chicken wire around my trees, 3 feet high seems to do the trick. My neighbor had a tree that was chewed of at the bottom but was tied to another tree about 6 feet up so it didn't fall. You know what those devilish beavers did - they climbed above the tie off and chewed the tree off so it would fall - UNBELIEVABLE!
