Beaver Deceivers in Frisco

---

Alton showed us the 3 beaver deceivers that he and a friend built near Tenmile Creek in the town of Frisco. The town had been trapping and killing the beavers every 3 or 4 years when the lawn at Walter Byron Park flooded. Now the beavers are there, but no flooding, thanks to the deceivers. 14 images 1.
