SUMMARY:Beavers Restoring Watersheds
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 10\, 2018 – 7:00pm\n\n\nLocation: The Barn @ Barn Beach Reserve\, 347 Division Street\, Leavenworth\, WA\n\n\n\n\nHosted by the Wenatchee River Institute \nADMISSION BY DONATION\, ALL AGES WELCOME! \nDOORS OPEN AT 6:30PM FOR NO HOST REFRESHMENTS \nU.S. Forest Service biologist\, Kent Woodruff will discuss working to reintroduce beavers to forest streams where they used to be common. \nThe Methow Beaver Project aims to understand the ecological impacts of climate change on water storage\, an essential part of the long-term health of the Methow watershed. Earlier snow melts and precipitation that falls as rain instead of snow will make for drier summers\, stressing fish populations as well as local irrigators. Beaver dams and the wetland “sponges” they create allow the watershed to retain water for longer\, improving late-season flows. Beaver dams also increase riparian habitat\, reduce stream temperatures\, restore stream complexity\, and capture sediment. These effects support many species\, including the Spring Chinook\, Steelhead\, Cutthroat Trout\, and Bull Trout that spawn in the Methow watershed. Restoring beaver populations is a way to adapt to changing climate conditions\, ensuring the future of our salmon recovery efforts and of the local community.
