Financial and technical assistance for constructing beaver dam analogs to restore aquatic and riparian environments that mimic beaver dams to disperse rainfall flows onto the floodplain, and recharge groundwater supply.
Overview
Description:
Beaver Dam Analogs and Post Assisted Log Structures are structures that mimic beaver dams. BDAs hold back water on the landscape later in the season, which disperses flows onto the floodplain, and recharges groundwater supply.
Cascadia Conservation District programs and projects are largely grant funded. This provides Staff and landowners opportunities and flexibility according to the need.
Michael Dello Russo of Trout Unlimited and Alex Harwell of Cascadia Conservation District will team up to tell us about the Wenatchee-Entiat Beaver Project! The Project provides education and outreach to manage human-beaver conflicts, relocates beavers, and constructs beaver dam analogs to restore aquatic and riparian environments in Central Washington.
