LTPBRs provide the scaffolding for beavers to work their magic.

As an ecological enrichment technique, LTPBR's use affordable and easily accessible materials, such as logs, sticks and vegetation to simulate natural water flows. This methodology aims to replicate the natural functions of water courses and enable the water to reshape the stream-bed and surrounding land.

By slowing and redirecting water courses, processes of healthy streams are supported and with it beaver activity is encouraged further contributing to thriving riparian zones.

Through the beavers' ability to engineer the landscape they quickly transform stream corridors. This activity results in the dispersion of water creating floodplains and wetlands. Saturation of a valley bottom in turn facilitates increased water percolation into the underlying water table, and supports a variety of plant and animal life dependent on slower moving and still water. 

Without the presence of beavers, water would move swiftly along the stream-bed, channalizing and eroding the course as it goes.

LTPBRs will ensure this doesn't happen even if you currently don't have beavers on your land.
