Very Canadian ("If we thought in terms of hockey rinks, that’s 1600 hockey rinks of water.") Sadly, no alt-text for the photographs in the article.

Beavers just quietly get on with improving their environment for their own and other's benefit. They never ask for permission. They just get on with the job.

They're the animal equivalent of the litter pickers and the people who keep paths clear. The guerrilla pruners who cut back the brambles. The ones who plant bulbs in public spaces.

Be The Best Beaver You Can Be.

Maybe not quite so many hockey rinks, but it was this vast network of dams that basically formed an entire forest wetland much like what the article describes... It was so cool; I can't imagine how long the beavers were at it – generations maybe?
