The City of St. Matthews is struggling with how to deal with beavers that have made their home in a local park.
Ian Timothy is seventeen years old. He’s been coming to Draut Park—a small park behind Mall St. Matthews—for four years, watching the family of beavers. They’ve built a dam and lodge near a culvert.
He points to the lodge. “It kind of just looks like a pile of sticks, but they’re living in the lodge.”
