A new Life on the Range video from the Idaho Rangeland Resources Commission features two Beaver Dam Analogue (BDA) installation projects.

BDA’s are designed to mimic and promote beaver dam activity using simple, low-cost structures made of locally sourced, natural materials. The BDA installation projects benefitted both aquatic and terrestrial species such as salmon and sage-grouse.
