Speakers:
Jessica Doran – EcoMetrics Colorado
Jessica’s talk explores the history of beavers in Colorado headwaters and why it makes sense to work with the ecosystem engineers as partners in restoration, rather than as products or tools for restoration. We will discuss practical approaches to beaver-related restoration including beaver relocation/reintroduction, conflict resolution, mimicry, and treatments aimed at promoting beaver activity.
Andrew Spear – Mesa Verde National Park
Drew will be discussing the planning and development processes for Mesa Verde National Park's Desert Fish Habitat Partnership project, expectations for the Fall's implementation, and opportunities for hands-on Low Tech Process Based Restoration experience.
Hannah Ertl and Colin Larrick – Ute Mountain Ute Tribe
Hannah is the Tribe’s Biologist and restoration project manager. Colin is the Tribes Water Program Manager. They will be talking about beaver from the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe’s perspective.
Jackie Corday – Corday Natural Resource Consulting
Jackie Corday was formerly in charge of CPW's statewide Water Resources Section where she did extensive research to understand the hydrological effects of low-tech process based restoration in order to address any water rights issues. During that time (2016-2019), DWR also raised the issue of beavers potentially impacting water rights, so she researched that issue as well and will cover both during her talk.
Time: Sep 21, 2021 04:00 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada)
