They drop out of planes. They ride on horses. People bring these small fire fighters to forests. They are beavers!
Beavers help water flow over land. That means fewer fires and more trees.
Pray: Thank God for the ways He designed each creature to serve others.

Many used to think beavers were a bother. Beavers gnaw trees. They build dams that slow water flow. People dropped the pesky rodents from planes in 1948. They landed in boxes with parachutes over Idaho. Guess what? Those critters helped reroute water in forests. That made wetlands. Wetlands keep land healthy. Trees do not catch fire easily. NASA took pictures from space. These showed that beavers reduce droughts. Now people bring beavers into Utah’s forests in carriers on horses. Giddyap, fire fighters.
