Had a pair of Beibers make their way to the pond, taking out some mature White-oaks, stave log quality oaks, they should've stuck with some trash wood. ]
Those white oaks are valuable. I just had several hauled out from the wind storm damage three years ago. They still wanted the white oaks. They’re as valuable as the walnuts. That stave company in Lebanon has Missouri white oak prices up there. So far, I haven’t seen and beavers. But way more than my share of those cute otters.. Agh!!
12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs) I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023.
