After years of trying unsuccessfully to build a pond in on their property, an Alberta family decided to call in some experts – beavers.
Pierre Bolduc and Sara Wiesenberg moved their family to an acreage in Bragg Creek, about 40 kilometres southwest of Calgary, because Wiesenberg wanted space to ride horses and be close to nature.
Bolduc wanted to build a pond on the property, in part so he and his sons could play hockey on the ice in the winter. He spent four or five years trying.
"It actually was met with terrible fiascos," he told CBC's Danielle Nerman. "Any time it rained, it would wash all the pebbles away and we couldn't keep any water."
Finally, he decided he needed help.
He hired a trapper to move beavers onto his property, and has been pleased with the work of the family of six.
"It's fantastic," he said.
Bolduc coaxes the beavers to build according to his plans by offering them already-cut logs and by using speakers to blast the sound of running water, something beavers are compelled to stop.
Now, he has a new project that he wants the beavers to undertake – a new dam that will allow him to access the water directly from his backyard with a canoe.
