  There's a group working in the Columbia River basin, and they've seen good results both from just setting beavers loose. They've seen positive but lesser results from man-made bespoke beaver dams, but of note is that in some cases the beavers adopted a man-made dam and completed it, which may help smooth the path for reintroduction in places where Illusion of Control sufferers paint beavers as anarchists. We would prefer the beaver dams be here, here and here, so we will try to coax them into doing just that. Part of my statements above come from their work, and if memory serves, they made an off-hand comment in one of their reports about wanting to try the same thing in the Colorado. The Columbia is in good enough shape that we've removed dams to restore salmon spawning grounds. The Colorado is a fucking mess, but it's not in 'hippy dippy' states where funding is easier to come by.
