Under Construction. Beaver Industry, Stepkensbeek, Genooi, Venlo, The Nethrlands

A couple of kms northeast of Venlo is the nature reserve Blackwater of which I've posted photos. I've seen Beavers at work there; some people claim they're a pest but I disagree. Anyway, from Blackwater runs a brook - Stepkensbeek - down into the Meuse River (see my www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/50146870446/in/photoli...). Walking a muddy path on the western north flank of the brook near the River this afternoon I saw that those Beavers have moved downstream and are now 'on the build' there. The inset shows their industry performed on a Beech Tree and the beginnings of a dam against a background of Birches. A nice lady - a nature enthusiast - walking her dog told me the municipality wants to destroy these Beavers for fear that they will undermine the levee protecting the entire area from Meuse's often wild highwaters...
