Recently Hope for Wildlife received word that there was a beaver trapped in a canal lock system and he couldn’t get out!
There are a myriad of ways that we effect the natural world around us, and often the impact on wildlife is unexpected.
Due to a recent lack of rain, low water levels had dried up the water running through the locks, and this poor beaver stuck found himself stuck in only a foot of water – frightened and trying to hide as best he could in the corner of a place he couldn’t get out of.
A huge team effort by Liz, Greg, Maya, Carol, and Angela found themselves scaling the ladders down to him and hoisting him up and out to safety. After an examination showed no injuries or other causes of concern, he was released into a nearby pond up river.
