Reestablish Native Vegetation
Achieve Natural Stabilization

Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) will be installed in a section of Sulphur Creek to reconnect the stream and the riparian area and to stimulate vegetation growth. Once revegetation occurs, this site may be suitable to use for beaver transplants. The BDAs will also be used to filter out unnatural amounts of sediment in the stream. This project began in Summer 2022.
