Triple Creek Virtual Field Guide Q.12: What changes have you seen?

- In this segment, you will see how the creek has interacted with our beaver dam analogs since 2016, and how widening and lengthening the stream helps facilitate raising the stream bottom -- bringing the water out of the incision trench. We discuss how these changes together can build biodiversity on the site, both flora and fauna, both in the stream and adjacent to it. The project area is getting more and more ready for beaver, who will ultimately take this project on and run with it!
This series of short videos provides the information that practitioners would normally get from an in-person, on-site tour and BDA training at the Triple Creek restoration project site. The videos are structured in question-and-answer format.

Incredible. What an easy solution to fix a bad problem. I can’t believe how high the stream bed got in such a short period of time.
I applaud the work that all of your volunteers have done. It renews my faith in mankind's ability to do good things for the Earth and not just destructive. At the end of the day these more natural type streams will be a gift to people as well as wildlife. There will be a much greater diversity of plants and animals and it could be a great resource for catch and release fishing.
Well with the ground water restored, willows will grow fast and in few years beavers will trive!
Nice conservation job, appreciate for the whole who did the job. Could you share the stream look alike in 2023.. Thanks'
Great job! Very Cool!
Great work! Thank you. Love your work and Beavers
See the need... Meet the challenge. I love to see what can happen when people choose to act on a need instead of just sitting back and saying, "someone should do something about that." I fully agree with the other posters on this. I also love your patient and deliberate plan to allow several years of this simple method filling in the incision instead of paying 400K to have trucks and backhoes come in. :-) Ken, Oregon PS... and thank you for the clear and key point explanation of what you have done. I love it. Gives me hope for recovery.
Loved this program. Thank you for all you have done to improve the environment.
This is where the Real Work and The Success are realized !
Fabulous
☮️🇺🇸🐋
Add beaver and ya got it.
Great work!
I love bda.
i love you all ! ! !
Outstanding job 👍
Bravo! Thanks for sharing and the very best of luck!
Nice work! Is there an ANSI standard for the plunge pool test?
Very smart
Great.
Keep at it
Stop channel incision
Bring beaver back in
Great
❤
Awesome job! One question though, why do you want to raise the stream bed, what’s the purpose with that? :)
Raising the streambed brings the water closer to the floodplain, especially during the spring floods, allowing the water to spread out, seep into the adjoining riparian area and wetlands, and then flow slowly downhill throughout the rest of the spring/summer/fall, which supports water quality and quantity, biodiversity and varied land uses at the project as well as downstream.
Hell yeah beavers are legit af
So making small damns through out the river mad the river larger?
If you want these to continue you're going to have to have large overly large super large boulders at every water damning spot built.
Пример неудачного и разрушительного вмешательства в природу ... Возмущен !!! ...
cheaper than digging the sediment out
you can put beavers to the dam for you. :)
Do you have plans to introduce beavers to this area
I want do this work how do I get started?
Do you want have the beavers help you maintain this long term?
Yes! Once established the riparian plantings will support beavers so that they can take over management.
Any updates on this project?
Wondering if leadership changed. There was a 2 year dearth of videos, one produced a year ago and nothing since. Hope the organization is ok.
Check out our website for some updates from 2023, including an exciting spring flood! okanoganhighlands.org/restoration/triple-creek/
Planting, plant care, adaptive management of BDAs took place during the 2023 field season, and more work is planned for 2024.
This is why beavers must be reintroduced into areas where they were made extinct by the fur trade.
Why use BDA, when you can just relocate a pair of beavers into that stream.
Sorry, the embankment wasn't sloped properly, so you are still getting erosion. Not well done.
I think that they are aware of that and were likely limited by budgetary reasons. Bringing in heavy machinery to a remote spot is expensive.
I believe they are solely focusing on rasing the height of the stream bed at this point
