Summary
Beavers got the boot in Hatcher Pass — state crews removed two ponds and three beavers along Archangel Road in late 2025 to stop flooding and protect road infrastructure. These ponds, beloved by locals for decades as a safe, wildlife-watching hotspot, were repeatedly blocking culverts. Officials say it’s standard practice statewide, done under a Fish and Game permit. While some residents are heartbroken — calling it a loss of rare Alaskan nature access — similar actions happened back in 2000. No more removals are planned nearby, but the battle between nature’s engineers and human infrastructure continues.
