This is awesome! I appreciate the connection between different values and priorities and how these spaces address those. This story about beavers in Gettysburg has apparently caused a stir as some think the beaver pond is changing the historical landscape of the battlefield and others think they should be left alone... I should ask Dr Butler about it, he's always got thoughts on beavers and their activities.

Thanks Chris. Beavers have always played a major role in our landscapes and society. We almost wiped them out, but thankfully they are making a comeback. You would be happy to know that there are now multiple families of beavers in Spring Lake and San Marcos River. Gettysburg National Battlefield is covered in the Collateral Values book, in the first main chapter I think.
