Notes

The grass around the culvert is down and the woody debris has been removed that the beaver had built up in May. Now the culvert is pulling in water at a faster rate. The water is surging because of the two culverts not because of water level. Watch your step through the vegetation and look for unstable walks and uneven ground.
