🌿 Here’s our team building a Beaver Dam Analogue (BDA), mimicking beavers to restore balance in a post-wildfire landscape. Wildfires can leave behind burn scars that alter soils, disrupt water flow, and slow vegetation recovery. By restoring wetlands in these fire-affected areas, we can help slow and store water, support native plant regeneration, and create habitat for wildlife. BDAs replicate the natural work of beavers, helping ecosystems recover after disturbance while building resilience a

Watch as our Watershed Team constructs a Beaver Dam Analogue (BDA) using natural materials like branches, mud, and rocks to mimic the work of beavers. This low-tech, hands-on restoration technique raises water levels, creates habitat, and supports healthy ecosystems. This video was captured in July. Since then, we’ve reached our goal of building 100 BDAs, and many Post-Assisted Log Structures (PALS) too! Learn more about this work at www.bcwfwatershedteam.ca. #bcwildlifefederation #wetlandrestor

🦫 BCWF’s Beaver Restoration Assistant, Geneva, explains our methods used to build Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) along Voght Creek in Merritt, located on private land! This project was done in collaboration with the Nooaitch Indian Band, Lower Nicola Indian Band, Okanagan Nation Alliance, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and dedicated landowners. #beaverrestoration #bdas #wetlandconservation | BC Wildlife Federation

Our Watershed Team is back in the field for 2025, monitoring last year’s Beaver Dam Analogue (BDA) builds, collecting baseline data, assessing new sites, and preparing for the season ahead! This video shows one of ten BDAs built in 2024 at the Earl Ranch site in Newgate, B.C., as part of our 10,000 Wetlands project. BDAs are a form of Low-Tech Process-Based Restoration (LTPBR), using natural materials to mimic the function of healthy streams and wetlands. By slowing down and spreading out water,

The 10,000 Wetlands initiative—also known as our Beaver-Based Restoration initiative—is actively preparing for future beaver dam analogue installations later this year. Here’s some footage from last month’s equipment installation at Voght Creek near Merritt, BC, in partnership with the Lower Nicola Indian Band. Hydrometric monitoring is crucial as it measures water levels, flow rates, and quality to evaluate the effectiveness of beaver dam analogues. This data is essential for understanding how

Our beaver dam analogues (BDAs) are in action! After the rains over recent weeks, we've seen the water that runs through Crow Valley Creek on Orcas Island be held up and spread out around the various BDAs that were installed earlier this fall. This is exactly what they're supposed to do: slow down water flow, help it fan out to a wider area, and promote a meandering stream—all similar effects as beaver-made dams. We can't wait to see how these dams hold up as the seasons progress and how they af

In a remarkable example of natural engineering, beavers constructed a dam that filtered polluted water flowing into a protected area—achieving what local authorities had spent seven years planning but had not yet implemented. The animals unknowingly completed the project for free. The beaver dam slowed water flow, trapped sediment, and prevented contaminated runoff from spreading downstream. When officials inspected the site, they realized the dam accomplished the same environmental goals as a p
