Life‑size beaver public sculpture nearing installation on Creek Parkway

Committee members reported that a life‑size beaver sculpture and a concrete viewing pad have been prepared along the Creek Parkway; the installation’s pad had been poured and staff hoped installation would occur within weeks.

Members described the beaver as life‑size and large enough to attract public attention, and they discussed logistics for a field visit once the piece was in place. One member noted, “It's life size. A very large and well fed beaver,” and members asked to be notified when the sculpture is ready for a site visit.

The update included location cues — near the Tunnel View coffee shop and the wildlife viewing platform that overlooks the creek — and the committee asked county staff to coordinate the final placement and inform the committee when site visits could be scheduled.
