A series of programmes featuring natural history films from other countries. Beaver Pond
The beaver has been known to fell a tree three feet in diameter and 110 feet tall. It can build its lodge 12 feet high and 600 feet long. All in all, it is considered to be one of nature's great architects and engineers. Its industry and skills create thriving habitats where once only poor ones existed.
Because of its newly-protected status, beaver activities are helping to reclaim badly eroded streams and creek beds. Their natural activities are undoing the damage of human neglect. This film, shot in the North American Rocky Mountain wilderness, has captured some of the remarkable behaviour of this gentle and extraordinary creature.
