The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for February 09, 2023

Nothing you can do about it now guys. Just go and try to find another tree.

Move into theirs and play in the ceiling all night.

Nothing like a beaver running loose in a house. Yip yip yip yip yip

I live on the last farm left in our area. All the rest have sold out to housing developers. As a result, my place is about the last habitat they have left and is overrun with deer, racoons and all manner of game. It is really sad. They were here first.

Look around, there are lots of trees left. Forestry requires lumber companies to plant more trees than they cut.

I hope they can find new homes and that they won’t be cut down.

Go live in the middle of the road, heh, heh.

Dam!

“Save trees, eat a b…”

Does seem a bit ironic.

Fellas, were you raised by robins? I can’t believe no one explained to you that beavers live in water where they build lodges out of twigs. So gnaw off the smallest branches and haul them to the nearest body of water. No construction company wants them.

Years ago when my Grandfather (had logging crews) he had a main lot of about 750 acres and the local forester was trying to get him to put it in Maine Tree Growth …… he finally told the forester that he wanted to see how they would work the pine grove ….. they came in with a bunch of young trainees ….. that afternoon, while they were to lunch, my Grandfather and I went to see what they had marked, not one mark except around the trunk were several trees with hatchet marks …… when they got back from lunch my Grandfather ask what that was about and the forester told him that they were thinning by poisoning the trees ……… My Grandfather had a fit, told them to leave and not come back. I ended up cutting down all the trees that they had poisoned …… got over 2500 bf of pine …….. that would have been wasted wood …………. needlessly we were not impressed with their forestry management practice ……. !

Awww…

Beavers don’t take down the big trees, they like smaller ones and they like the limbs… silly cartoon.

I wonder if they are supposed to be beavers. I assumed squirrels when reading the comic. Brown, bushy tail, nesting hole in one of the felled trees.

It’s a bit of a sad comic, but that’s the way it is.

But these trees were their home…. what would be your reaction if YOUR home was “cut down”?
