Houston we have a problem!!!!
Looking out the window first thing yesterday morning I saw this. Not good, this was one of two Cottonwood trees on Swim Island and we were planning on a rope swing off a branch of this tree when it got large enough. The lake is 9 years old and this was the first sign of a beaver that we noticed.
So I got on the internet to see how to protect trees from beaver and found this solution. I put the protection on all our Cottonwood trees (5) and all our Hackberry trees (7). Tomorrow I will do all the Maple trees around 6.
