Dallas Post/John F. Kilduff
By JOHN F. KILDUFF
Staft Writer
A five to seven acre section of
land at Frances Slocum State Park
has become the permanent camping
grounds for a very persistent, and
sometimes pesky, beaver colony
park officials told The Post.
For the past four years, the bea-
vers have been building and rebuild-
ing a dam along the stream running
through the park and beneath
Mount Olivet Road near Green
Road. Park officials say that some-
times the dam can create hazards
for land owners and motorists trav-
eling along Mount Olivet Road.
“Last winter (February 1985) the
beavers had the water dammed up
to within six inches of the road at
Mount Olivet, Green Road intersec-
tion,” said park ranger Wilmer Fox.
“We had to had to break open the
dam a little, so the water wouldn’t
spill over and freeze on the road.”
Fox, a 12-year veteran ranger

ACROSS FROM THE WOODLANDS
822-1188 or 654-9707
from Centermorland, said that in
addition to the five to seven acre
parcel of land, which the beavers
have water backed up onto, they
have built seven other dams inside
the park grounds. The seven other
dams are no real problem, Fox
said, because they are away from
the general public and private prop-
erty.
“If they (beavers) build a dam
next to a farm of road,” Fox said,
“it could be a problem. As long as
you can control them, they are
actually the best conservationists
you will ever find.”
Fox said that the backed-up water
has actually provided excellent hab-
itat for deer and duck wildlife.
Park officials have repeatedly
broken open the dam in order to
keep the water level down, but the
beavers have rebuilt the dam as
fast as they can break it open.
“There is nothing worse then
trying to tear one of these (beaver
dams) apart,” said Fox. “They are
J and J
ing, they keep going strong. I guess
that is why they call them ‘busy
beavers’,”’” Fox joked.
Fox says the beavers build the
dams due to their natural instincts,
rather than for any destructive pur-
pose. The construction of the dam
involves mixing a variety of natural
elements like tree branches, large
stones, leaves and mud from the
large and consist of many tons of
mud and branches.
“They build for natural reasons,”
Fox said. ‘‘People think they are
engineers. Not at all, ”’ Fox said.
“It is a natural instinct to build
dams.”
Fox said the beavers dam up the
water in order to have a place to
survive for the winter months. Bea-
vers spend most of their lives in and
around water and can’t allow the
water level to become shallow or it
will freeze. The beavers reportedly
store food and pockets of air just
under the surface of the ice during
the winter months.
