National Wildlife Federation Blog | Low-tech stream restoration works wonders for people and wildlife.
Almost like magic…How beavers boost streamflows and restore habitat with a little help from humans.
Historically, beavers created vast wetlands that provided critically important habitat for a diverse array of wildlife and plant species. Now, conservationists are restoring watersheds by mimicking the engineering work beavers used to do.
River expert Joe Wheaton explains how simple, cost-effective, hand-built structures are helping repair streams across the West.

In Idaho, low-tech stream restoration is taking off, thanks in part, to SGI’s workshops and education efforts.
Read about how volunteer-led, low-tech, process-based restoration of streams and meadows in the west is helping restore critical habitat for elk and other wildlife in this great story from Bugle, the magazine of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Reposted with permission.
Since 2016, Working Lands for Wildlife has been trained nearly 2,000 people on low-tech mesic restoration techniques, empowering practitioners to implement riparian and wet meadow restoration projects across the West.
