Why are we out here doing beaver stuff in the first place? When our projects impact wetlands, we’re required to replace them. But instead of just “checking the box,” we teamed up with Utah DWR and the U.S. Forest Service to try something bigger: Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs).

Pretty dam cool if you ask us.
