Just the other day, I was at the North Pond and I saw a Beaver! It was (justifiably) skittish, but it seemed to be rather medium sized, and very busy! I am interested in arranging a public meeting to discuss government action to secure the Beavers place in Lincoln Park.
Also, I found these articles about a beaver in New York City!

Apparently THEY think that a beaver in the middle of the city is special, and worth protecting!
I found a book by Scott Holingue called Tales from an Urban Wilderness published in 1994 that chronicles the North Pond and has 3 pages about a beaver in the pond! Wow, maybe the beaver in the North Pond today had family in the pond back in 1994?
