Indian Creek Headwaters Riparian Restoration
Join the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and the US Forest Service to protect small waterways from natural and human-caused erosion. Our goal is to restore ecological integrity to riparian plant and animal (think beaver!) communities. This project will focus on habitat restoration and flood management through the installation of BDAs (beaver dam analogs).

Event details
Expect to engage in:
- Collecting and carrying (alone and as teams) natural materials for use in BDA builds;
- Training and installation of BDA structures along waterways;
- Additional naturalization and stabilization strategies to ensure the highest integrity of the work.
- This work will be quite physical; hiking to work sites will be four miles round trip, and installing posts for BDAs will include transporting materials in muddy, slippery, and densely vegetated creeks. Expect heat and insects.
