Lauren Monheim of the Watershed Management Group, Tucson will talk about their efforts to restore beavers to the San Pedro River. Beavers are one of the best local helpers for restoring desert creeks and rivers. Beavers build dams that slow down creek and river flow, a process that helps flowing water sink into the aquifer below and recharges groundwater! At the same time, beavers create critical wetland habitat —ciénegas—for our Sonoran Desert ecosystems.
