As far as beavers; constructive or destructive, just depends on who's telling the story. The NPS have maintenance people who view them just like you and others who think it's just a wonderful natural story. I've seen them take down trees over a foot in diameter well away from any water so it has nothing to do with building anything and the energy required to take it down is way more than they could get eating the bark. Just another sign God's got a sense of humor.
