Well if this is the view from you place in Montana- not bad. It looks like a more nutrient rich environment compared with your first picture.

Living with beavers is fun, and fascinating, but it can have its challenges. Particularly during spring snowmelt and run off: trying to keep my culvert under the road open was a daily chore. I would clean it up. They would plug it up. Every tree I wanted to keep, I had to protect with chicken wire. OK for a few trees , but for a couple of acres of trees- a chore

Thanks
