Beavers now live along the course of the Dean Water.
This photograph shows a willow that was cut by a beaver possibly as much as two years ago. The young shoots are last year's growth.
Farmers do not like to have too many willows along the deep ditches that continue to keep the former loch cultivable and so cut them back, as in the photograph on the left. The beavers like to do the same, though a little untidily and less rigorously than the humans.
