The book Beaverland: How one weird Rodent Made America, by Lelia Philip takes a deep look at beavers in America. 

They were abundant until they were hunted for their fur and became almost extinct in the 1840s. These rodents are being reintroduced to help reduce the flow of rivers which prevents downstream flooding.

Beavers are active in Lake Forest Park. Beavers have built dams and a 6-foot lodge at Grace Cole Park. 

These amazing rodents cut trees for both dam and lodge building and food. The size of the pond is about 3-4 times larger than before the Beavers built their dams. 

Grace Cole Park is at 30th Ave NE at NE 166th St.
