The Project provid es education and outreach to manage human-beaver conflicts\, relocates bea vers\, and constructs beaver dam analogs to restore aquatic and riparian e nvironments in Central Washington. Based in Leavenworth\, WA\, Wenatchee-E ntiat Beaver Project started in 2018. Beavers are keystone species and eco system engineers\, having a massively disproportionate impact on their env ironment. Through constructing dams\, beavers build ponds that provide myr iad benefits to riparian systems. Beaver ponds slow and spread water in st reams\, promoting riparian plant growth while improving streamside resilie nce to drought and wildfire. Beavers are important actors in ameliorating the effects of climate change through building wetlands. We partner with b eavers to restore streams\, learning from them as we build our own beaver dam analogues. We provide habitat so that relocated beavers can take over project sites and continue our work. The Wenatchee-Entiat Beaver Project u ses beaver-powered restoration throughout Central Washington to enhance ri parian systems. Join us to learn more about this keystone species\, and th e work the Wenatchee-Entiat Beaver Project does in north-central Washingto n!\n\nMichael Dello Russo is the Beaver/Dam Analog Habitat Coordinator for Trout Unlimited’s Wenatchee-Entiat Beaver Project.
