Points to Ponder
BEAVERS
When European explorers first
traveled through the Southern
Appalachians, beavers inhabited
virtually every stream and river.
Their engineering efforts provided
food, shelter and safe habitat for
other species. When fur traders
trapped the last beaver in the late 1800s,
a vital component of the mountains’ natural ecosystem
was eliminated. Beavers were reintroduced during the
1930s-1950s and have increased the biological diversity in
many Parkway areas. Management efforts by park staff are
aimed at protecting the role of the beaver and maintaining
the recreational opportunities for visitors.
