Beavers at the South Unit

There are active beavers at the two ponds along Wheeler Road in the South Unit of Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park. The City of Madison is working with an environmental contractor to protect the drainage culverts in the ponds without harming the beavers. Parks conservation staff will also consider how best to protect valuable trees. More news to come as this project develops.
