In Part 6 of this canoe trip series, I am taking a day off in a nice rocky campsite. I show a large poplar (trembling aspen) that has been cut down by beavers. A very common and normal (essential) occurrence in Canada, and a familiar sight for many of my North American subscribers. But for my subscribers in other countries around the world, you may not have seen this up close before, so I thought I would show it.
Poplar (Populus tremuloides) is the preferred food for beaver, and they eat the bark on the twigs and smaller branches. The thick coarse bark on the trunk of the tree is not eaten.
This is part 6 of my 24 day solo canoe trip in Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, in August 2014. I plan several more videos in this trip series. Thanks for watching!
