Deer-mites! I've seen deer strip trees like that in Maryland before.

Subnivium mice? It looked like you could see bear teeth marks on the wood below the cambium layer. Bear do that often on the west coast when they come out of hibernation; eat the cambium layer just below the bark. Don't they do that everywhere?

Seriously ?
It's beavers, multiple years too.
Beaver seem to use ash trees as markers here. They will occasionally cut them down but never seem to eat any of the bark.
Seriously? Multiple years= boundary markers

It appears to me that there was some type of larva working under the bark. I have seen in some areas where skunks will tear off the bark to get to the larva. I have also see where a coon will also remove the loose bark to get to a larva.
That is definitely a hardwood tree, possibly ash or even oak.
