Trail Creek Beaver Dam Analogs

We had 15 HCCA volunteers join Forest Service personnel to implement 9 beaver dam analogs (BDA) and plant native willow harvested on-site along Trail Creek in Taylor Park. This project uses low-tech process-based restoration methods to strengthen the resiliency of riparian systems, improving watershed health. Mimicking beaver structures helps attenuate water in the landscape and return complexity to poor riverscapes, allowing more wetland vegetation to grow.
