The San Miguel Basin Gunnison Sage Grouse Working Group needs your assistance to finish building Zeedyk structures. Zeedyk structures, designed by Bill Zeedyk, restore wet meadow habitat that is critical to the federally threatened Gunnison sage-grouse. Zeedyke's are rock structures that help stop head cutting erosion and assist water to naturally spread back over meadows. This encourages native flowering plants and insects, the critical food source for sage-grouse chicks. This work involves placing softball-sized rocks, such as one rock dams, in areas and in ways that will help fill incised water channels and stop harmful erosion running through naturally wet meadows.
For a more comprehensive look at building these structures, check out Building Zeedyks here.
We'll wrap up and celebrate another successful project with a beer and some homemade chili on the house.
