This workshop will focus on the importance of beavers in the Rocky Mountain Region and how their ecology can guide wetland and riparian restoration practices. We have organized a group of experts to share information on beaver biology, ecology, and restoration. Topics include wetland and riparian restoration from the landscape scale to individual reaches and ponds. Flow devices, non-lethal management devices, and BDAs (Beaver Dam Analog) will be illustrated and discussed. A panel discussion will follow immediately to give attendees opportunity to ask questions and discuss concepts and ideas in more detail.
