Project Goals and Objectives
Goals for this project include improving aquatic and riparian habitat, reducing wildfire risk, reconnecting the floodplain, and improving bird habitat along the riparian corridor. Funding for this project was provided by the Watershed Restoration Initiative. Project partners include Sageland Collaborative, Salt Lake County Parks and Open Space, and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
Structure Construction Elements
We built beaver dam analogs (BDAs) using untreated wood posts (2-4" diameter) pounded into the stream-bed at the height of the ordinary high water mark and then filled in by volunteers using on-site materials including sustainably harvested willow branches, mud, rocks, and clumps of sod.
