flag Colorado scientists build artificial beaver dams in burned areas to restore ecosystems, slow runoff, and boost recovery.

flag In Colorado, scientists are building artificial beaver dams in burned mountain areas to help restore ecosystems after wildfires. flag The structures aim to slow water runoff, boost groundwater, and support plant regrowth, mimicking the natural effects of real beavers. flag The project, led by the U.S. Forest Service and Colorado State University, seeks to assess how these low-cost, nature-based solutions improve soil stability and ecological recovery, with results expected to guide future wildfire restoration efforts across the western U.S.
