Ewest,I think they are like us, in that they want something different to eat. Beavers eat willows, then river birch and green ash in that order here. We have a clump of thirty some cypresses in my duck pond but they haven't chomped on them in 10 years. They are my favorite trees. Have you ever seen a sycamore cut by a beaver, they appear to be the only tree they don't eat here.
