Beavers finish seven-year dam project in two days saving – $1M


After plans stalled for a new dam in the Czech Republic, eight beavers saved the day seemingly overnight. “At this point, nothing that beavers do surprises me.”

Despite securing more than one million dollars’ worth of funding for a new dam to address water issues, the project had stalled after seven years of planning because the necessary building permits for such a structure couldn’t be acquired. "Beavers always know best,” Jaroslav Obermajer, head of the Central Bohemian office of the Czech Nature and Landscape Protection Agency, told Radio Prague International, which first reported the story. Schwab was happy to report that he found a valley bottom in Belgium rich with a mosaic of ponds and newly created creeks—proof of the power beavers have to remake the world.
