I would think just getting a few family of beavers in there and they could get all those logs in that river for cheaper right? My local town is using goats to clear public parks of weeds...

Helicopters dump 6000 beavers into Pacific Northwest rivers…

I wonder how much 6000 beavers cost anyway?

Could be laying the groundwork for beavers to move in and establish themselves easier.

If the beavers are in a particular area, maybe. But also sounds like the logs were not in the same setup that beavers put them.

Settlers saw a natural log jam and thought Mother Nature must be constipated.
