A family of busy beavers in Rosemary Brook is enjoying the benefits of a recent home “renovation.” Earlier this month, crews installed a Flexible Pond Leveler pipe system, called a beaver deceiver, into the beaver dam to prevent flooding in the area. The device creates a small leak in the dam, undetectable to the beavers, allowing water to flow through while keeping the dam intact and not harming the beavers. Our thanks to Wellesley’s Department of Public Works for working with Beaver Solutions of Southhampton, MA, to improve water quality while protecting wildlife. Thanks to the NRC for this updated information.
