I originally decided upon this location just by wandering the trails through the woods until I came upon an area that would be easy to identify again. The footbridge and &#8220;Beaver Way&#8221; sign immediately caught my attention as a site where there was visible human intervention. Upon further inspection, I noticed a sign (pictured on the right) that quite contradicted my original assumption. This bridge is supposedly not evidence of human intervention, but of yielding control to nature&#8212;beavers specifically. I&#8217;m interested in how the presence of beavers here will impact the stream and riparian zone surrounding it.  <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/7344022E-BD43-4CE2-868C-5AF4C3FE900A_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/7344022E-BD43-4CE2-868C-5AF4C3FE900A_1_105_c.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/7344022E-BD43-4CE2-868C-5AF4C3FE900A_1_105_c-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"823\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-10-at-4.00.40\u202fPM-823x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-10-at-4.00.40\u202fPM-823x1024.png 823w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-10-at-4.00.40\u202fPM-241x300.png 241w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-10-at-4.00.40\u202fPM-768x955.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-10-at-4.00.40\u202fPM-1235x1536.png 1235w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-10-at-4.00.40\u202fPM.png 1262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">The path I took to the bridge is shown in orange, following a human-made trail through the woods. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegetation in the area:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Red Maple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/246653507\">https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/246653507<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Japanese Barberry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/246653607\">https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/246653607<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wood Ferns <a href=\"https:\/\/inaturalist.org\/observations\/246654489\">https:\/\/inaturalist.org\/observations\/246654489<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blackberry Brambles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/246654331\">https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/246654331<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1920\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1080 \/ 1920;\" width=\"1080\" controls src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/achan4\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_0968.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Above is a short video showing the full landscape of &#8216;Beaver Way&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I chose &#8216;Beaver Way&#8217; in Centennial Woods for my Phenology project.
