Why the Project Is Important: Beaver have been removed from many of Utah's ecosystems, which has meant the loss of their positive impacts on stream and wildlife habitats. Installing human-made beaver dams works to restore these well-documented, crucial impacts, including:
Creating aquatic and riparian habitats
Providing hydrological connectivity
Reducing erosion
Controlling sediments
Reducing runoff and floods
