Approach
Increase upland water storage by managing for beaver populations
Tactics
- Accommodate and maintain larger beaver populations
- Trap and relocate beavers that create dams that flood trails
- Use riparian shrub planting and protection and riparian aspen restoration and management
- Use valley form analysis to assess potential sites for beaver colonies and channel migrations
Strategy
