Beavers, Pipes, and Park Preservation | Calgary News

Volunteers from the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park Society tackled a beaver dam near Bebo Grove, installing a pipe to lower pond levels by 10 cm—protecting pathways and asphalt from flooding. This eco-friendly fix, perfected over 10 years, lets beavers keep building while volunteers work with nature. A cage on the pipe prevents blockages. Up next: Sunday’s mission at Sikome Lake’s east end, where similar pipes will help drain water smoothly into the Bow River, avoiding wetland overload. Funded by a $5,000 Ocean Wise grant, this community effort shows how local action can preserve nature and coexist with wildlife.
