SUMMARY:Beaver and Process-Based Restoration From Ridge To River
DESCRIPTION:Process-based restoration is a holistic approach to restoring degraded watersheds that aims to re-establish keystone processes such as sediment transport\, carbon sequestration\, nutrient cycling\, and fire resiliency. Process-based restoration considers the functions and needs of the entire watershed – from ridge to river – and seeks to harness naturally occurring\, onsite energy (including that of beaver) and materials to achieve upland\, meadow\, wetland\, river and floodplain restoration goals. These practices are adaptive over time to environmental feedback with the goal of encouraging a self-sustaining\, dynamic ecosystem. Where appropriate\, working with beaver and process together can accentuate and accelerate these habitat restoration\napproaches. \nJoin restoration professionals Kate Lundquist and Brock Dolman (Occidental Arts & Ecology Center WATER Institute) and Kevin Swift (Swift Water Design) for an entertaining evening of stories and images illustrating their decade and a half collaboration to restore watersheds using beaver and process across the arid west and the globe. Learn more about how our holistic Fuels to Flows and other techniques can help you meet your water\, land and species management goals. \nThis is a donation-based event\, suggested donation $10 – $20. No advance registration required.
