Beavers are acting in accordance with nature generally and and are in accordance with their nature.Also beaver dams arent generally destructive to nature either.Without mans interference beavers would still build dams.

This whole topic is very difficult especially this part of it.Is man seperate from nature? Well yes and no.Yes in the sense that we have seperated ourselves from it almost completely in alot of ways.Our entire society is currently mostly unnatural and artificial.Humans are natural in a sense.They came to be without any interference.They for hundreds of thousands of years were natural and in accordance with nature however most currently have seperated themselves from nature.Thus currently human society,science,etc and humans in general are unnatural.Interference in and of itself is also unnatural.Creating tools generally doesnt interfere with nature...creating plants,genetically altering animals,creating machines that aid only human,etc is unnatural and in my opinion interferes with nature.Especially cars.

We have long ago started evolving in ways faster than "evolution". Society and the many different results of it (What would we be if somehow all our stored knowledge was lost ; memory + written data all deleted?).

We are already entering the next level where we can modify our bodies and existence within our lifetimes. Merging with technology is next, it is very much a part of nature.
