Bow Survey to Address Beaver Dam Flooding

Bow officials are trying to determine the ideal elevation for a snowmobile bridge on town-owned land that was getting flooded by a beaver pond before the water was drained last year.

The Bow Pioneers Snowmobile Club received permission from the town to trap and kill the beavers and remove debris the animals used to build their dam.

The unannounced action led to a flood of complaints from surprised neighbors on Page Road, Pepin Drive, and Pine Crest Drive who wanted the pond and beavers to remain.
