Reduce riparian impacts by storing more water on the landscape

Approach

Tactics

Inventory current and potential habitat.
Increase beaver populations with translocation and trapping to create more wetland habitat.
Restore riparian habitat by planting willows, managing grazing, and raising water level.
Use snow fences and reflective tarps to retain snow in critical areas.

Sensitivity

• Decreased stream flow will reduce riparian vegetation and affect food supply and habitat structure for riparian obligate species.

Strategy

Maintain and enhance hydrologic processes
