We Built Fake Beaver Dams to Rewild this Dead River
Earlier this year we introduced you to Glassie, our riparian restoration project in Scotland. In this video, we're constructing our fake beavers to really kickstart regeneration of this river. 🌾 To support our work you can become a member here: https://mossy.earth MOSSY EARTH MEMBERSHIP =========...
Been loving this channel for a while. Coolest video is them flooding a forest and showing fish swimming underwater, but above a forest floor. Real trippy.
That was a really nice watch, I hope to see an update years on!
Nice. Good luck.
In Australia, we call them "leaky weirs" (check dams too) as beavers don't exist and they were popularised by Natural Sequence Farming and Peter Andrews with great effect. Don't let the name fool you, they aren't that leaky and are built similarly to this vid.
I don't know if I like the term beaver dam as it's a bit exclusionary but if it works for clicks and techniques for the northern hemisphere, that's cool.
I've just included some old videos, NSF has been around for a long time:

Can you help me pick up what you're putting down here?
Thank you both for sharing these videos, really cool stuff, makes me think about this gem from almost ten years ago now.
