Despite intensive efforts to reintroduce beavers into areas where they are severely reduced in numbers or eliminated due to over-harvesting in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, beavers remain sparse or or missing from many stream reaches. In this study, beaver dams mostly occurred at sites that were not grazed or where there was some alternative grazing management, but were mostly absent at sites within Forest Service cattle allotments. Results indicated that cattle grazing influenced the relation between vegetation variables and beaver presence. We recommend that beaver restoration will require changes to current livestock management practices.

A Guide for Planning Riparian Treatments in New Mexico has been developed as a guide for those conservationists who will be providing both planning, and design assistance in treating riparian areas. The guide recognizes that in New Mexico, some stream channels have incised to an extent where riparian areas are now upland sites.

Throughout the world, the condition of many riparian ecosystems has declined due to numerous factors, including encroachment of non-native species.

It is the responsibility of each agency to determine that their actions do not jeopardized Threatened and Endangered species.

The Tamarisk Coalition, a non-profit alliance working to restore riparian lands, has launched a new website called the Riparian Restoration Connection. Its goal is to create a central hub for the riparian restoration community to exchange resources, share ideas, ask questions, and get the information needed to help facilitate riparian restoration efforts.

Riparian areas are most simply defined as the transition or interface between comparatively drier upland areas and wetter areas. Riparian areas can exist along the margins of creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, wetlands and bays. This booklet will focus on the management of riparian areas that exist along creeks and rivers.
