Beaver Dam Analogues - A Visual Tour of Triple Creek

Triple Creek Restoration on Myers Creek, near Chesaw, WA. Biomimicking beaver dams, we used conifer posts and weaved together dogwood, willow, and maple to create Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) to help raise an incised reach and to activate the floodplain.
Project partners: US Fish and Wildlife, Okanogan Highlands Alliance, and Trout Unlimited

So so inspired and lifted to see the beautiful, hard working beavers do their natural jobs to save earth and humans, all other species. You go beavers!!!🤗💖💖💖

Great tool for rehydrating underground aquifers in Salinas Valley! I'll recommend this BDA!!

The video would be a lot better with a narration and no music.

[@xhybagyan619]

Why not just re introduce beavers to do the job for free.

[@CengalLut]

The eroded river has very steep banks that beavers can't climb up, so there's no material at all for a beaver to build. If you release beavers there, they would just die. The point of this project is to fill the river channel with sediment, so it lifts up, eventually levelling with the surrounding floodplains. Only then can beavers do their work.

[@steveperreira5850]

That was my question also. Just plant the right kind of foliage along the creek. But maybe they had to get the stream bed higher and more plants and trees before the move back in of the beavers

[@casienwhey]

needs narration

[@micahwest5347]

Pro tip: set volume to zero at 0:00 mark.

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Music is a distraction.

[@darrellschulte3868]

couldn't stand the Hillbilly music to watch more than 5 seconds

[@wrightgregson9761]

the music is way tooooo loud and f'''''ing irritating

[@wrightgregson9761]

i cannot bear the noise, therefore i cannot watch your presentation.

What an incredible waste of time. There's a symbiotic relationship in nature. Every living thing has a job to do. Beavers build dams... Greatest engineers in nature. Beavers need trees to build dams. Where are they? Your going to find this project being futile over time. Create the right habitat first and get out if the way.

[@TheCommono]

There are projects like this where beavers moved in and took care of the 'dams'. It might simply be that the situation is so degraded that beavers can't do sh*t. And these dams are just that: creating habitat. Trees might not grow in a fast flowing stream, but eventually alongside these dams etc.

You didn't watch the video... 7:05 etc etc

[@klaasdeboer8106]

towards theend of the video I see alot of juicy trees for the beavers.
