Smoke Creek beaver dam analogs complete. These 6 structures will help create habitat for wildlife, protect the channel from erosion, and promote carbon rich wetland vegetation. #bda, #beaverdamanalogs, #bringbackthebeaver, #watershedrestoration, #ecologicalrestoration, #beaverdamanalogue, #streamrestoration, #beaverbeliever, #lowtechpbr

One of the many satisfying aspects of low-tech PBR (process-based restoration) is watching structures back up water and rewet remnant channels that have been dry and starved of life for years... It will absolutely never get old

Building a beaver dam analogue with Swaner Preserve and Utah State University on East Canyon Creek. Together with volunteers like you, we are improving water quality and quantity conditions on the creek for fish, wildlife, and people!#WildlifeScience #Restoration #TimeLapse pic.twitter.com/pBSJRYnciH
