When Beavers Move In

**Listen out for the muffled nibbling of willow branches and the playful paddle-tail thwacks against the water!
**_
When beavers move in, they chew down a tree._
They nibble the bark.
And they drag the branches into a stream.

Beavers topple trees and build dams, which can cause floods and disrupt neighborhoods. So what do we do when beavers move in? In Puget Sound, we call the Tulalip Tribes. They send biologists to help relocate our furry friends to a place far from people, where the beavers can be free.

**Poetic text makes this an irresistible listen with gentle STEM tie-in.
