If the beaver dam started to flood the “leave the damn alone” peoples yard of basements, they would be the first ones out there. Great vid as usual and be safe.

A healthy forest is good for our oxygen supply tree roots covered in water will die James is right they need to breathe ,breaking these dams is keeping the fields drained and the forest healthy, What Mantas is very important for the environment

Fox was an extra treat today, thanks..

People who say leave the beaver dams and beavers alone never had them destroy parts of their property and never had to clean up the mess they made.

The fox was very cool, thanks Mantas.

That's a gorgeous fox.❤ Excellent damn removal, stay safe. And beavers can be beneficial to one area, and just destroy others.

Great job, Ken! 🥰👍👏❤ Puikus darbas, Ken! 🥰👍👏❤

What you do in Lithuania is quite welcome by the others living there. I salute your efforts.

Never think that you can outsmart a beaver. Our beavers are relentless in maintaining their spots.

Was unaware how destructive beavers are until started watching you. Maybe the detractors have not seen the damage to the farm crops and forests. Thank you for your excellent work.

Aerial videos are very good as they give us viewers an overall sense of the landscape you're trying drain. Thanks for your work and editing.

only read helpful to you comments. You are doing a great job. with out you the fields are flooded, farmers can"t grow food, No food -- no toast tomorrow. or no corn then no gas for your car. Thank you.

Looks like spring has finally shown itself.

Glad you saw the fox and not an alligator!

That had a lot of sticks packed in this one,..love the drone pictures,..

Greetings from the BIG SKY.

Extra treat today was the fish you caught and released, and the fox. You're gonna have a good year, sir!

I watch a gentleman from Russia, he goes into the forest to remove dams, and they are huge. He explains that there are huge area of trees that are damaged because of the flooding, and they also push other animals out because their natural feeding areas are destroyed. He does not trap them, but he spend at times days removing a single huge dam.

Well that fox definitely didn't agree with you removing the dam. On his return trip he either had to swim or make a huge detour!😂

Beaver are good in some areas, a big problem in others. When they start flooding and killing off forests they are a problem. By Mantas taking out a dam or two he's helping the tree roots to breath like they were designed to do. Keep up the good work Mantas.

That was a very beautiful fox.

What a beautiful fox!

Please ignore the ignorant. You do a wonderful, needed job

I responded to someone advocating that you should not be removing beaver dams. To put it bluntly they had been comparing apples to oranges. They did not understand that the ditches were part of a land drainage network, like the dykes and windmills in the Netherlands. Mantas, you have pointed out many times how the high water levels were flooding adjacent fields. I don't always approve of how you open the dams but admire your willingness to do so. A number of You Tubers remove beaver dams, most of them doing so prevent damage to infrastructure and flooding that destroys properties, agricultural land and kills forests. Did you set up a trail camera to catch the fox on video? Setting up a trail camera to monitor where a dam was opened will give a very good idea as to the number of beaver in the area. Appreciate seeing the drone shots really gives a great picture of the size of the area that was flooded. Wish I was young enough to visit you and help opening dams.

Wow a fox, afternoon Mantas

Good job! I admire your work to try and save the forest's from being drowned out by too much water caused because of the beaver dams. I actually saw a KZfaq short video of a woman who had a PET beaver IN HER HOUSE with wood floors and chairs. I laughed at this!

The fishing is good in this channel. I’ve always wondered if you ever saw fish.😂😂😂

You remind me of the boy in the cartoon "foghorn leghorn". Very funny cartoon in my day. He was a genius,lol.

Mantas, great video. Really enjoy the video, the red tail fox was a plus. I could not believe what the beavers had done in a few days after you had destroyed the dam. Great work, it may take a few more times before the beavers move on??. Thanks for sharing. David B.,Utah, USA. ❤❤❤.

SWEET! Wildlife.

The farmers that put in those canals aren't beaver farmers. They didn't build those canal's for them. Beavers belong in rivers and streams.

Finally a fish❣️😊

Another awesome removal 🙌 ❤

Soo many sticks for the size of the dam!

Looking at the 75K mark!!!!

Good job

That was interesting to see. While you were clearing the right side I think I saw some fish swimming down stream. I like you having the camera focused on the inside lof the dam. It is a nice change of view.

Great Job 👏 😊

Nice job!

You do good work. I enjoy your postings. There is needs for continuous flow of waterways. Obviously, otherwise you would be stopped by authorities. ❤

Beavers are useful -- pelts make good hats and coats !! (lol) And you personally do not injure any of those critters and you do perform a useful task.

Great video as always,you do come across some interesting dams,just continue doing what your doing.your doing a great service to the are by eliminating the dams.continue on with your quest.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Youdo very nice work you’re very thorough great job I’m sure you’re tired after that job

Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland und danke für deine Bemühungen

Cool video as always. Stay safe out there.

Love watching all your hard work. Your videos are very enjoyable. Didn't really like the camera angle today....loved the fox!

The beavers usually think the dams failed cuz they didn't build it strong enough, thats why they don't reuse old sticks, they think something was wrong with the sticks

There are times when beaver dams are good: running water keeps going; water sitting behind a beaver dam sinks into and replenishes the aquifers. There are places in the USA where artificial beaver dams are being built to renew aquifers and green the land. When they are destroying farms and forests, they are not good.

We would call that fish a Minnow due to its size.

Do you ever think that a beaver sees all those sticks piled up on the side and thinks oh look IKEA sent us a damn all we gotta do is put it together

Looks like you have found a crucian carp. Just my first guess. But Rutilus? Oh, in germany the Rotauge would be the same or nearest comparison. Good bait fish!

I work in conservation in the UK and here we are re-introducing European Beavers. It's true that they can cause problems like you have with the water table being made higher than farmers would like. In such a modified man-made environment they do have to be controlled. Where they can be left they do good things. People have to manage water-side trees to stop falling trees from causing the collapse of river banks. Beavers do that for us. They also contain flood waters better that man-made solutions to man-made problems. They slow the water down and can prevent your house from flooding or reduce the effect. I live at the edge of a wide valley which was created by Beavers when they lived here in the past. People have had to put in retention ponds and other mechanisms because the Beavers are no longer there. There will come a time were we have to carefully cull Beavers where our and their interest diverge. However they are not North American Beavers. Even there in Yellow Stone park they had to reintroduce them along with the wolves. The grazing animals were taking over. After the re-introductions the grazing populations went down, trees returned and the Beavers restored tree and wetland management that would not be plausible for people to do. People in towns and cities are far removed from the balance that is struck in the countryside and though the balance has far too long been in favour of Man that trend has started to be reversed. Nothing like the slow death of pollution and climate change to alter the focus from the mortgage and pay. We all win. Happy environment - happy people.

Yes beavers are good for the eco system. They are also very destructive to farmlands. We need more hunters and trappers to help keep the populations in check so they aren't as destructive

First to watch and enjoyed every minute. Thank you

Nice job.

1. I really liked when you moved the camera behind you, I could actually see more 2. If you remove All of the dams aren't the beavers just going to bring down to many trees? Just asking 3. Couldn't you make something with a handle that has a flat square heavy bottom to help you take away all the mud?

Sometimes beavers are useful but most of the time they create problems and are destructive

I like to tell people the dam is like a fingernail. Cut it back and, with the beaver's help, it usually grows back so it can be cut again. The beavers live for dam building so it could argued that you are contributing to their happiness in the long run.

Love watching these. May I ask if you have to get permission from the owner of that property before you remove the dams?

Removing the dams only hurts the beavers ego lol they don't actually get hurt if you remove thier dam

Sir do your part you know better they probably not even near close to this environment and have no idea how bad this is also soon will come raining season and will be worse so do you some comments are worth as good advice some are just nonsense keep doing the good job even the Government has contacted you for help so there you go thats the answer to that kind of viewers.

I take it you have no bears or wolves to predate the beavers ? Which I suppose why you have so many ! As you say it's the people in the cities, who say wouldn't it be nice to have beavers, as they have here in the UK ! So we have them now, and in a few years we will have the flooded fields and denuded woods, and a lot of beavers !! I think they have also released boars, which will enjoy digging the farmers fields for them ! Chaos ! I have a fox who visits my back garden every now and then, along with munjac deer and badgers, good to see. 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧

Where was the assistant of the woods? When it got flooded?

Thank you for the fantastic clearing this day, Mantas. Excellent water flow! 🇱🇹👍🙂🇺🇸

You know the beavers will build another one. Everyone has a job to do . Lol . Keeps the world moving. 😊

Those people don't realize that the Soviet creation of the drainage canals to reclaim land in swampy areas of coastal Lithuania has provided increased arable farmland, making the country more agriculturely self sufficient. The fields next to the canals also would not exist or be as farmable without the underlying drainage system and canals. The beavers were reintroduced into Lithuania and the other Baltic States in the 1960s. They had been extinct in these areas. The beaver populations are now above levels considered desirable and are reaching overpopulation numbers. They dam rivers, canals, and streams migrating fish such as salmon use to breed. They cause harm to forests, farms, housing, roads, and other infrastructure through flooding. Since natural predators for the beavers have been reduced or eliminated, their population will continue to expand unless controlled hunting is utilized. Good video but it looked like the tractor got the best part first.

Do you ever see the beavers!

'saving the forest' is another urban myth (like the animals) - trees grow like weeds (fast). Perhaps let the beavers mine the forests, and then once the forest is gone - they'll move on to the next one (or experience a societal collapse which depopulates) - I expect it balances out in the end (so only remove dams that are flooding farm fields). I assume we have no idea of the level of complexity we are living in. What's your take on those ideas?

Will Fox be dining on Beaver tonight?

Those who speak against dam removal do not know the situations like you do.

Hopefully the beavers will rebuild, if not your content will be lacking.😢

Beavers are very good at storing Water! if there was to be a draught a few reservoirs of water very useful! but too many obviously can cause problems for farmers and erosion of some road ways! I personally have no problems with Dams being removed! I don't agree with them being killed! and certainly don't want to see that! we've only had Beavers re introduced in the UK over the last few years and so far they're only doing Good stuff!

Some people will never understand how beavers can be destructive to farm lands with the flooding their dams cause. Growing food to feed a population is hard enough for the farmers. You do a great service and help keep forests and farmland from being destroyed by too much water!

Everything has a purpose, even Beavers. But when they interfere with man’s financial and home security it’s time to remove them. Relocation or permanent removal.

Beavers are good. If you cook them right.

The areas you work in have few natural predators for beavers. The beavers can grow in numbers beyond what they would have done in a natural environment. The beavers have a bad impact on farming and small wooded areas. If you were in the vast forests of Canada or the US, then I would say to leave the beavers alone. They are part of the natural balance. Their dams and artificial lakes introduce an important dynamic into the ecosystem. There are wolves and other predators that keep their populations balanced with the environment. The area you are in is different than the massive forests of the US. The beaver populations and the damage the dams cause must be controlled.

According to ecologist beavers are good for the environment, because the create wet lands, and their ponds create meadows in for the forest when the beavers abandon the area after their primary food source is gone, and the dams deteriorate. Beavers also help with water retention during the dry periods, providing fish habitat, water source for wildlife, and the create marsh lands for migrating waterfowl, also beavers help to prevent erosion and flash floods during heavy rain. The environmentalist will tell you Beavers are essential for the health of a forest, and the waterways, that they are a key part of the environment. In some areas it is a crime to harass beavers , and to remove their dams requires a permit.

Hello mantas , keep doing what you are doing , it seems that the beavers 🦫 are over populated in your country and doing way more damage than good so keep up this important work . Kool fox in this video 👍 enjoy the rest of your weekend and catch you with your next video .❤

Mantas, great video. Really enjoy the video, the red tail fox was a plus. I could not believe what the beavers had done in a few days after you had destroyed the dam. Great work, it may take a few more times before the beavers move on??. Thanks for sharing. David B.,Utah, USA. ❤❤❤.
