A satiric Facebook page called "Save Bart the Beaver" was created in light of a tree-cutting investigation at Lake Atalanta. The page says "Bart lives in Lake Atalanta and is only trying to make his and his family's life better. Now he's been called out by local enforcement and we are asked to be vigilant in looking out for him. Help us to save Bart from any wrong doing by neer-do-wells." Bart is not the name of a known actual beaver. The page's creation was prompted by an investigation at Lake Atalanta. Police say someone used a hatchet to chop down two of the newly planted trees at the lake. Police say they don't believe a beaver was responsible for felling the trees in question. The wood from the trees was left on the ground and not taken away. An actual beaver would have taken the wood, according to police. 40/29 News reached out to the owner of the page. "It's obviously a just a joke," the person responded in a Facebook message.
