beaver dam removal/cleanup of bridge 06/2023

[@fredvanhetnet]

Nice to see you not only unclog, but also remove trash out of nature and even removing a shopping cart

[@bruceblumhagen2878]

Thank you guys for also cleaning up the trash amd hopefully recycling what you can.

[@lynnduncan6139]

The Dynamic Duo is at it again! Wonderful work ladies. Go grab some sweet tea and put your feet up!

[@Quid2005]

I LOVE it when you send the material downstream- Mother Nature appreciates the help. No apologies necessary. The one thing keeping me from moving South is the humidity. The collective whining around here about how humid it is starts when the mercury hits 50%. I’m afraid I’d melt in your neck of the woods

[@PleasantlyConfused6816]

LOVING all the positive comments!! Focus on those girls!! The trolls will crawl back under the bridge if they don’t get the attention!

[@debilunn9563]

You two ladies do a fantastic job ❤Just remember, sometimes people will give their opinions when you didn’t even ask them for it 😉 ignore them, you’re both amazing

[@kathygoskey6701]

I love watching you ladies.

[@danielneeley5480]

I couldnt care less what "people" think girls. Yall do it the way you want and its going to be all right. You do more for the environment than the majority of people, so do it the way you want.

[@iykyk-s8z]

Love the work ya'll do! ❤️ I truly enjoy the scenery.

[@martinmarsola6477]

Thank you for your labors, Ladies! ❤❤😊😊

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

It doesn’t matter what you say or do, someone won’t like it or will be able to do it better. I learned a long time ago not to care about anyone’s opinions except my own and those I love and trust.

[@kevinkellough6900]

You should do it the way you want to do it not what other people think you should do it

[@AnnewithanA73]

Fishing line loose in the water can entangle wildlife. Thanks for doing your part to remove this danger from the water😮

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺 Thank you! Picking up trash is so appreciated! Love how you show any pretty flowers you find! Explanation about different situations also appreciated! Aloha 🌺🥰❣️

[@markroberts5203]

Nice teamwork there! Mom , you remind me of my mother-in-law. There was no stop in her. When she saw something that needed to be done, she did it Never a complaint. She grew up in Blaine, KS, during the great depression & WW2. Pure "salt of the earth". Keep on cleaning up and clearing out!

[@jeriwollmann7366]

Great work Jenn and mom. Love Jenn in cute hat and white shirt. Very beautiful. Cheers. The culverts that have the grates for beaver. Any vids in those coming? Cheers ladies❤😊👍💋😍

[@burthome8921]

I like it when you let the stuff go on down the river and i really like it when you push stuff through the culverts because it reminds me of when i saw a young boy in my village playing in the river by my house. Good job x

[@christopherort2889]

Great job ladies. Stay safe out there.

[@lightwavz]

The unclogging of the triple dam at the bridge was great! And what a lovely location with all the swallows swarming around for bugs.

[@ronnieharrison2143]

Nice job Ladies 😊.

[@kellyhymes2600]

I’m glad you have your protective boots on!

[@tamtheman2099]

ladies unless these people get their wellingtons on and get into the water just ignore them

[@PleasantlyConfused6816]

Amen!!! Listen to this person! Very smart!🎉🎉🎉❤

[@barbrabrown4951]

They do a great job so don't worry

[@l.faraday8767]

Believe it or not we understand humidity up north too. Living near the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario, is my lake, 25.5 C or 78 F can feel like 37.7C or 100 F, it’s really humid in the summer. Tomorrow, July 14th it’s going to be 34C or 93 degrees.

[@linato1855]

Hey you two, you can’t imagine how much this was welcome tonight! I had medical appointments and prescriptions to wait to have filled and when we returned, we had three wild grandkids visiting who just left. I’m having a laugh at people who think beavers actually live in the dams they build, instead of their lodge. I’m sure you know to ignore ignorant comments and have a reward drink. Take care….👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@marjolein523]

Well done, ladies! Great video 😊

[@TjTac]

Thank you for all you do. Don’t worry about the haters. They are not doing what y’all do. Couch Karens

[@anitablack9388]

Good job ladies and love to see when you let stuff go down the streams and thanks for all the unclogging and beaver 🦫🦫😊😊🐸

[@jimmiesullivan358]

You two are doing a great job all around... Getting the Trash most of All... Don't Worry About what you do With the rest nature Will turn it to gas of Decay good for everything Around it... There is Something that does Caserns me...I Have seen it on other Videos You have...For Safety Reasons Please Lay Any Yard Tools Face Down...If You Lost Balance You could get Hurt really Bad...You have 3min.if You Land WRONG...I Love You Both and All That Help Out just be CAREFUL... Thanks with Love...

[@iykyk-s8z]

Sending stuff downstream creates habitats for critters and the decomposition is good for the environment.

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Nice job ladies. 😎

[@kevinkellough6900]

I like your dog

[@kathleenwheeler9433]

Well done ladies please take care with lots of snakes about 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@LadyFigment]

Note on that grocery cart: Free Grill grate! Just need a Fire Pitt to set it on top of.

[@SlickBubbles]

And the wheels are great for moving dollies! Quite strong!

[@cherylsibson2529]

Beautiful job ladies.

[@meghaffer]

It's my "expert opinion" as someone who watches beaver dam removal videos that sometimes is OK to send beaver debris downstream and sometimes it's not. It seems to me that the people filming have a far better idea of what's downstream than I do since I've never set foot in that location. So they can make that call better than me

[@clarerichardson8496]

O

[@QuivaRPG]

For the people who complain about taking away the beavers' home: I look at it this way- If the dams the beavers built caused too much of a problem (flooding across fields, major roads, that sort of thing) then those nuisance beavers would be trapped and killed. At least in my area they would be. So, by removing dams and getting ahead of the problem they're saving the lives of the beavers. They aren't draining major ponds where the beavers actually live. Plus, it gives the beavers something to do LOL. If the beaver population was struggling, there wouldn't be any dams on large streams like this one. Since there ARE dams, the beavers are doing well and aren't directly affected by removing these particular dams.

[@culvertsandmore]

Exactly

[@PleasantlyConfused6816]

You can’t see me, but I’m bowing at your feet!! 😂😂😂. It’s the instinct in the beavers to build dams, and they aren’t in a union and actually want to work!!

[@ameenahansari4384]

Thank you Jen for update.Did you all get the kittens new homes yet?Take care Jen and your mom did not your mom's name yet,that's why I just say Jen's mom Take care see you in the next video

[@culvertsandmore]

Mom’s name is Kim. And we got three of the kittens into good homes and we decided to keep the fourth one and named him bullet.

[@robertlawless9700]

I love it - there you are talking about Copper heads and saying mom has to be careful where she walks whilst you, Jen, are wearing flip flops ei yi yi

[@culvertsandmore]

eh, we were just out walking not doing culverts then.

[@wendymurray249]

People who throw trash in creeks, rivers, lakes, etc are just nasty. Do they not realize it effects everything!

[@OldLadyinUk]

I watch few other of these videos, and as has far as I’m concerned you ladies are in number 1 position. You see it as the general population see it, selfish people whom have no respect for themselves or others. Keep up the good work.

[@supiza78supiza6]

Wow,kamu berdua sememangnya hebat 😊😊

[@marybethprinkey2635]

All that trash 😢 it's just pitiful. Looks like a bunch of pigs went out there and had a party. So glad you ladies are there to help.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

13:55 I don't know if someone already told you but those are swallows and make their nests with mosses and their spits (danggedy dandelion, can't seem to find the right word 🤔 ) and there's a old wives tale, when swallows fly high, it stays dry, do they fly low? Water may come to flow

[@TajGrobelnik]

❤

[@robertrockwell7581]

Beavers do not live in the dam. somewhere on the creek there will be a Beaver lodge. so their home is safe. nice work.

[@stuart6478]

because they never leave or multiply. they just stay inn the lodge forever. butt stuff only. because they are immortal as well.

[@laurawilson6389]

I would have like to watch it all float downstream.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

29:44 You know what would be fun to know, just for funsies, do you maybe know someone who has a Drone? That way you can just look and see what they are up to? But only if you have the opportunity anyway.

[@LynnGorman]

I have MS and heat can really cause me problems, but the humidity is worse!

[@culvertsandmore]

Yes it is

[@fayedewitt4183]

😊

[@SlickBubbles]

Have you considered calling the city (I think that's what you said) and letting them know about the broken sign? Where I live, the grocery stores pay about CAD$10/ea for someone to pick up wayward carts. It costs them CAD$400-$600 to purchase new ones.

[@BeckyIrvin-oz2lv]

Call the supermarket. They will come out and pick up their cart.

[@freudsigmund72]

I don't understand why some people think it is okay to litter in nature. What I really don't understand why people do not properly dispose of fishing gear and line. The channes Ocean Conservation Namibia shows on a daily basis the horrible effects of discarded rubbish and fishing nets and line.

[@kevinkellough6900]

You can do it if there’s nothing going to clog downstream it’s just gonna get waterlogged in sync

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

3:53 Those are string algae and appear in low oxygenated water that hasn't got enough watersnails and so on that eat those type of algae. Happens mostly in the summertime when the water is low and the sun helps it grow faster.. It is slick, that is true 😊 but harmless and if, it is best to throw it on the banks to dry and let dying there in the blazing sun. Girls, you do a great job! 😎👌

[@NothingSpecial-ox7wy]

It’s your channel, if they have a problem they can move on. You do what you think necessary to fulfill your purpose. Your better off sending it all down stream, because the big rain will pull them off the banks anyways

[@LynnGorman]

The birds looked like some sort of swallows or swifts. Couldn’t really tell.

[@billiekruse7704]

Green algae can make your Lucy sick if she drinks to much

[@omervandenbelt]

Is that a shopping cart? Did the beavers go to Home Depot to buy material for their beaver dam.

[@culvertsandmore]

Funny😂.

[@DavidRichards-g9c]

why do people be such idiots throwing a shopping trolley into a stream and you girls have to come and take it taking out and pick up trash you do a real good job 🥰

[@iykyk-s8z]

😢 the litter and disregard for nature and the environment by people who throw all that stuff down there breaks my heart

[@injairgun]

Those birds are likely Swallows or Martens. They nest in the sides of cliffs under bridges or anywhere that is well protected

[@tboettge2]

It's green string algae

[@MaditaFin]

Did you take the fishing line and the lure with you? They are so dangerous to the animals if left in nature.

[@lightwavz]

They did. They threw it to the middle and then to the side to take when they're done, after the camera is off.

[@lynetteesler6332]

i think youz should have picked up/gathered the fishing line so no animals would be tangled in it!!!!! i know youz did not put it there but you should fix the issue not prolong it!!!!!

[@rosemcmeel5559]

Stop explaining why you send the debris downstream. If they don't get it now, they never will.

[@culvertsandmore]

It’s mostly meant for ppl who discover our videos for the first time.

[@carolb29]

the birds are swallows, they're nesting up under that bridge

[@Vixen-Moon]

Never apologise for pushing logs down river, where once nature used to do it before man built waterways, it never looks pretty but if people are only watching and have never experienced actual cleaning of beaver dams, it is heavy work and there is often no other place for them to go without causing a jam up later.

[@KCJenkins]

PLEASE, use the tripod, even if the view is not perfect. The constant movement when you just hold it makes me nauseous.

[@stacy5445]

Pack the cart and sign in the truck and throw it in a city dump. I know that’s not your job but if you don’t take it away people will continue to thro it in the creek! 😡🤬. We live amongst jerks!

[@culvertsandmore]

We would love to but if you didn’t notice it’s all uphill there at the end. There ain’t no way we are getting that up the hill.

[@Demun1649]

I read, once, that the US is FULL UP with ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, and they are all "jerks"! Only the First Nations are there legally.

[@alicepotter3979]

FYI. You do not have very good audio.

[@culvertsandmore]

We have mics on. That’s about the best we can do. Mom’s mic wasn’t working on the second one which we mentioned in the video. Sorry.

[@debbryant2402]

You are doing the right thing girls! Good job to you both

[@georgesvak5332]

Amazing work done ladies.
