Beavers are one of southeast Utah's most incredible creatures. Their ecological engineering creates and maintains riparian ecosystems in regions afflicted by drought. Beaver dams help soil absorb more water, which generates and maintains vegetation productivity for wildlife and people. More beavers, more dams, and more water retention. | Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

We recently released four beavers in tributaries to Grouse Creek in northern Utah. In the video below, one of the beavers gets close to the camera! The dams beavers build help the environment a variety of ways. First, they back up water. The water then flows into surrounding areas, creating meadows that provide important habitat for a variety of species. The dams also keep sediment from flowing downstream, protecting river banks from erosion. Many thanks to the Watershed Sciences Department, Uta
