The use of low tech "stick and stone" structures for restoring degraded riparian systems is a growing field of wildlife and restoration ecology. During this volunteer event, participants will get hands-on experience in the field of Low-tech Process-Base Restoration (LTPBR) by assisting with the construction of Zeedyk rock structures to prevent excessive erosion and enhance wet meadows and small-scale streams within the sagebrush community on Centennial SWA (Gunnison, Colorado)
Participants will learn more about the ongoing collaborative efforts of the Gunnison Basin Wet Meadow Restoration and Resiliency Building (WMRRB) project, which is a public-private partnership to implement on-the-ground climate change adaptation strategies. A main focus of the WMRRB project is to enhance brood-rearing and summer-fall habitats for the threatened Gunnison sage-grouse and improve big game winter/spring habitat.
