Butano Creek has been restored to eliminate flooding near Pescadero and other problems, according to the San Mateo Daily Journal. The restoration required the removal of a man-made bridge and dams built by non-native beavers that were introduced in the 1940s for reasons that remain obscure.
The result has been a 90% reduction in flooding. The Journal doesn’t mention whether the beavers are still around.
