Building artificial beaver dams to restore streams in Montana

WWF is working with partners to install artificial—or analog—beaver dams in streams on dozens of ranches in the Northern Great Plains. These structures aim to slow water flow, prevent harmful erosion, and distribute this precious resource throughout the landscape. The end result will raise the water table, improve soil health, nourish plants, and provide habitat for wildlife. We collaborated with The Nature Conservancy and Montana Conservation Corps to launch this program aimed at restoring water systems in grasslands in 2022.
