We recently released four beavers in tributaries to Grouse Creek in northern Utah. In the video below, one of the beavers gets close to the camera! The dams beavers build help the environment a variety of ways. First, they back up water. The water then flows into surrounding areas, creating meadows that provide important habitat for a variety of species. The dams also keep sediment from flowing downstream, protecting river banks from erosion. Many thanks to the Watershed Sciences Department, Uta

Beaver dams help soil absorb more water, which generates and maintains vegetation productivity for wildlife and people. More beavers, more dams, and more water retention. | Utah Division of Wildlife Resources | Facebook
