Summary

Description

The beaver is the engineer of forest wildlife! One of a series of beaver dams on Birch Creek at Mill Hollow near Preston, Idaho. This dam retains 10 – 12 feet of water, but anadromous fish are able to navigate through its structure of interwoven branches, to spawning habitat upstream. Since reintroduction of beavers in 2014, the fish population on this Creek has increased tenfold. It’s due to creation of resting pools, raising the water table, and other fish habitat enhancement, all of which is the result of beaver activity – taken June 29, 2021.
