Artificial Beaver Dam Videos Re-Establishing Beaver in an Idaho Meadow At Pitchstone Waters Ranch on the Fall River in Idaho, we have been preparing beaver release sites for over a year. Here are our first 4-transplant beavers. The big ones weigh 80-pounds! Our profound thanks to the beaver group at Idaho Fish and Game for their support with this project.
Artificial Beaver Dams Artificial Beaver Dams Are Catching on in Idaho How and why to build artificial beaver dams. Any property with small streams should consider these. The authors say, “We visited two very different streams in Idaho to learn how beaver dam-like structures can help store water, slow down runoff, enhance the riparian area and improve fish and wildlife habitat.

Beaver Leave It to Beavers “As discussed in the article below, “Beaver dams are why some ecologists insist that beavers may be able to help remedy the effects of climate change. Beavers build dams, which create ponds, which create ecosystems. They move water, and so could help alleviate both droughts and floods. They create “beaver

Beaver Beavers in Utah Utah’s population of beaver has recovered since the days when they were trapped by mountain men, but some people wonder if moving beaver to traditional habitat may help deal with drought. Beaver were found across Texas, including far-West Texas. Their restoration would be cheap and transformative.
Beaver To Restore Salmon, Think Like a Beaver When Europeans arrived in North America about 500 years ago, it is estimated there were 300 million beavers and 50 million acres of beaver ponds. Within 200 years, 98 percent of this was destroyed, profoundly harming the hydrology of what is now the United States. In much of the United
"Invasion Biology" How Beavers Build Dams For 20-million years, beavers have been nature’s water engineers. In North America – before Europeans trapped them out – 400-million beavers impounded 50-million surface acres of water. Beaver eradication was a disaster for continental hydrology. Fortunately, they can be restored. Beavers can again work tirelessly, cheaply and effectively to maintain and

"Invasion Biology" Dam Good! Beavers May Restore Imperiled Streams, Fish Populations The picture above shows what can happen when stream beds erode and disconnect from their old floodplains. Wetlands are now fallow meadows. As discussed in the article below, beavers have trouble building dams in these eroded streams where trees have disappeared.
