So I have some pretty obvious beaver damage in my pond. I do not know why they are there since I was under the impression they liked things with flowing water, but anyways they are here none the less.

After doing very little research I see they eat some aquatic plants which I like. But negative side they are taking down some really nice trees. Including some of my cypress trees which I really like.

I was just curious if anyone had ever had a beaver issue before. Of the animal variety and the best way to handle it or learn to just live with the new inhabitants of my pond.

Appreciate any insight.

Oh also I made a new drag for my ponds for removing aquatic plants. I know some plants spread by fragmentation but I will post pictures of that topic and some other things in the appropriate areas.
