Yes, they cut down trees. Approximately 200 per year. But these fallen trees stay nearby, and they are the beaver's home as well as some of their food. Plus they create a bigger wetland ecosystem than what they took away with those trees. Compare that to what humans do with trees we cut down... transport, process, burn, all sorts of things that are worse for the environment.
"When a beaver builds a dam, it floods outlying areas creating wetlands. Frogs, salamanders, fish, birds and lots of mammals depend on wetlands to live. One estimate shows nearly half of all endangered & threatened species need wetlands to survive."
