NTCD picked up a @trpa_tahoe Best in Basin Award today for their Saxon Creek Restoration Project in collaboration with the USFS, Balance Hydrologics, and Meyers Earthwork, Inc. This project removed fish passage barriers, expanded the riparian width, and improved habitat complexity at a 900’ length of stream channel. Check it out next time you ride Corral loop or Mr.Toads! #processedbasedrestoration

Look at those @californiaconservationcorps members thinking like beavers! We were out at Saxon Creek all last week making Beaver Dam Analogs near our new restoration area.

Measuring pond depth and water levels in Jennings

Measuring pond depth and water levels in Jennings Pond in the Burke Creek watershed. Beavers have taken residence over the past 5 years and have really changed things. Nearby development and recreation uses complicate the use of beaver related restoration. This is part of our ongoing efforts to restore this watershed and improve climate resilience. #beaverrelatedrestoration #processbasedrestoration
