A Vermont couple raised an orphaned beaver kit and prepared it to return to the wild.

John Aberth’s “Bringing up Beaver” is a fascinating—and deeply humbling—account of the lengths to which the author and his wife, Laura Hamilton, went to to accommodate one, then two, young beavers.

Another innovation: "Green eggs" or devices that listen for beavers, whose digging can be devastating for flood defences.

Now they were circling above the beaver pond.

The phenomenon is referred to as the “Beaver Moon” because it’s a time when beavers build their dams and take shelter before the ground freezes, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.
