      The beaver and other animals are carved in wood here.

        Beavers have been present on the Swalm River since 1998-1999. An article about the first feeding traces observed during this period can be found here: natuurtijdschriften.nl/pub/1004466/NAHM2000089008004.pdf

        It's not immediately clear how many beavers actually live in the valley, but the traces are hard to miss.

        And of course, there's always this wooden statue in the series of sculptures for the nature trail by artist Roel van Wijlick, "Boom tot Beeld" (Tree to Sculpture).
