[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 700174, member: 4362"] Am no beaver expert by any means but I do have a little experience with them and I would say this is true. By damming a small creek the beavers will flood countless acres of otherwise mesic woodlands and turn them into wetlands thus making a huge buffet plate for themselves. Additionally, the beavers will dig canals within the flooded areas - some as deep as 4' beneath the bottom - to be used in dry periods or for escape routes back to there lodges. Additionally, beavers are more prone to feed on trees that stump sprout. Again, insuring a new crop of food in the upcoming years. In these ways I think they do modify their environment to meet their needs. Sadly, when beavers flood an area - in time - the flooded land will become wetlands and will be regulated as such by the gov't. [/QUOTE]
