Red Beaver Part I Buying Land ... walking boundaries, assessing land quality and timber

What happens here

Actively search for signs of historical or current animal activity that might indicate natural water sources. In this case, an old beaver dam was discovered, indicating a past water flow pattern. Furthermore, identify and inspect multiple natural springs bubbling directly from the ground and substantial creeks, as these are valuable water sources and can often form natural boundaries or points of interest on the property.

Goal: Identify and evaluate water sources and historical animal impact on the land.
