Fisher looks on at a culvert that was blocked heavily in recent years due to beaver damming. A pile of mud and sticks, seen across the water, was removed using an excavator. Increasing the water flow in the area reduces the height of the water table, which can sometimes rise so high that it floods acres of farmland, Fisher said. The buildup of water in Glenboro also leads to basement flooding and overland flooding. (Connor McDowell/The Brandon Sun)
