Portneuf River Vision

And just like that the Pocatello Creek demonstration project is done! A huge thank you to our contractor: TDX, our design engineer: Biota, and all the City staff and volunteers who made it possible, including the Portneuf Soil and Water Conservation District for use of their willow stinger. This project sought to demonstrate use of a new stream bank stabilization material: flex MSE bags and to begin to restore some of the riparian health to Pocatello Creek by planting shrubby willows which will also screen nearby homes from Pocatello Creek Road. We will continue doing more planting next spring!

Fake beaver dams catching on in Idaho

Fake beaver dams catching on in Idaho

Landowners and conservation professionals are excited about a new type of woody structure that mimics beaver dams. The benefits are similar — they store water, slow down runoff in streams
