Beavers

A tree with it's trunk half chewed through


Location: Lower Don Valley
Date photo taken: 2 May 2018

I often walk along the Don Valley Trail, but it's been awhile. On my last walk, my attention was grabbed by the sight of a tree with a big, light-coloured circle where the bark had been stripped away. Then I noticed that the tree beside it looked like this. As I continued my walk, I kept seeing more and more trees chewed or gone, with only the pointy stumps remaining. Surprise, surprise! It seems that beavers are at work along this urban waterway. It was a nice reminder that wildlife - other than squirrels and raccoons - still makes its home here in the city.
