Beaver Habitat Restoration
Project Goals and Objectives
Volunteers built six human-made beaver dams along the tributaries of the East Sevier River, just outside Bryce Canyon National Park on the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The backwater habitats these dams create support boreal toads, willows, aspens, beavers, and other wildlife. Ten volunteers completed this project in 180 hours!
Structure Construction Elements
BDAs, non-treated posts, trimmings from forest thinning projects, lots of local sediment.
