Thie week from Jesse Welles for your listening pleasure…
The flood is a flasher and grower
We wish that the water was lower!
But beaver-built lumps
Will act as speed bumps
So beaver dams make water slower.
Each day they grow fatter and older
The pond’s heavy size
Makes groundwater rise
So beaver ponds make water colder.
Jon tries his hand at a demonstration model for the festival. Still thinking about a recirculating pump?
By the beaver pond grass just grows greener The frogs, birds and crickets sing keener The dam as they built ‘er Will act like a filter So beaver ponds make water cleaner.
