Preserving Riparian Corridors
The linked YouTube video describes a long-term restoration project along Dixie Creek, a small stream near Elko, Nevada. Thirty-two years ago, the BLM fenced a segment of the creek to exclude cattle. Over the years, BLM staff photographed the recovery of the stream and its adjacent riparian area. The amazing result is a testament to the resilience of natural systems and shows what can result if they are just allowed to recover.
We encourage you to watch the video and be encouraged that streams can recover if we are persistent.
