It all started when the folks of McCall Idaho realized they had a problem A big problem A big beaver-type problem
McCall in Idaho’s woodsy backcountry was a lovely place Trees so tall they touched the sky Crisp mountain air And oh that sparkling blue lake Swimming and hiking in the summer skiing and snowmen in the winter Who wouldn’t want to live there People rushed to build homes and lodges on the shore docks for their sailboats and canoes and paved roads to get to it all
Trouble was that lakeside land had already been claimed For decades centuries even beavers had been the only ones doing the building there Beavers feel right at home on land and in water For protection from critters that think they’d make a tasty snack beavers build dams then hide in the deep water behind the dam Beavers build their dams with wood they harvest by gnawing down trees lots and lots of trees
