THIS PROJECT WILL IMPROVE IMPAIRED STREAM HABITAT CONDITIONS IN TRIBUTARIES TO THE UPPER COLUMBIA RIVER BY HARNESSING BEAVER-POWERED RESTORATION REALIZED THROUGH LANDOWNER ASSISTANCE AND BEAVER RELOCATIONS. THE PROJECTWILL ASSIST 10-20 LANDOWNERS BY IMPLEMENTING COEXISTENCE MEASURES TO EITHER ALLOW BEAVERS TO REMAIN ON-SITE ORRELOCATE THEM TO STREAMS WHERE THEY CAN BE BENEFICIAL. BEAVER COEXISTENCE MEASURES INCLUDE EDUCATION ON HOW TOLIVE ALONGSIDE BEAVERS, WRAPPING TREES OR FENCING VEGETATION TO PREVENT BEAVER BROWSE, INSTALLING POND LEVELERSTO KEEP BEAVER PONDS FROM FLOODING PRIVATE PROPERTY, AND WHEN NECESSARY, RELOCATING BEAVERS. BEAVERS BENEFITSTREAM HABITATS AND ASSOCIATED SPECIES BY BUILDING DAMS WHICH CREATE VARIED HABITATS, HELP RECONNECT STREAMS WITHFLOODPLAINS, AND ADD WOODY MATERIAL TO STREAM SYSTEMS. BY PROMOTING BEAVER COEXISTENCE, WE WILL RESTORE ANDCONSERVE IMPORTANT NATURAL STREAM AND HABITAT PROCESSES, SUCH AS POOL QUALITY AND QUANTITY, FLOODPLAINRECONNECTION, LATE SEASON FLOW AND WILDFIRE RESILIENCE ALONG APPROXIMATELY 20 ACRES AND 3 MILES OF STREAMS.
