Beaver Creek Willow Planting Workday

Beaver Creek is an important stream for some of the easternmost populations of unhybridized Westslope Cutthroat Trout. Riparian degradation caused primarily by livestock access and OHV use in and around the stream has been impacting these threatened native trout populations in the watershed. Freshwater Conservation Canada has been working to restore aquatic and riparian habitat in this creek since 2022, through riparian planting, invasive plant species removal, and bridge replacements/OHV trail rehabilitation.

To help speed up the natural revegetation, volunteers will help to harvest and plant willow stakes along Beaver Creek.

• Volunteers will meet at the Beaver Creek bridge in the Public Land Use Zone (PLUZ) (https://maps.app.goo.gl/wnF2g58U7q4wW4if7) at 9:30am.
• The planting site is located at 49.81582158365572, -113.95607015365621.

There is cell service when you first enter the PLUZ, but not at the project site. Please have the locations saved to your device before departing. Staff will have inReach devices on site in case of emergencies. There are outhouses are available at the site.
