Beaver Restoration Feasibility Assessment for the North Fork Kern River Drainage
Given the potential benefit of beaver to mountain meadow restoration and related focal species, OAEC WATER Institute conducted a beaver restoration feasibility assessment to aid in the Prioritizing Meadows for Restoration within the North Fork Kern River Drainage project led by California Trout. The goal of our beaver assessment was to identify which, if any, of the ten priority meadows would be good candidates for beaver restoration treatments as a means to achieve meadow restoration goals.
