Moore BDA Project
Hello,
The Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG) is looking for volunteers to join us for a Beaver Dam Analog (BDA) project on Trail Creek, a tributary of Antelope Creek near Moore, Idaho, on September 18th–19th.
BDAs are structures designed to mimic the natural function of beaver dams. They help slow water, improve stream habitat, increase water storage, and encourage healthier riparian areas.
We’ll be working together in the field to install BDAs to improve habitat near Antelope Creek. We’ll provide instruction, tools and work as a team to complete several structures.
Project Details:
When: September 18th–19th which is Friday and Saturday
Where: Antelope Creek past Moore, Idaho. Moore is between Arco and Mackay; the site is about a 1.5-2 hour drive from Idaho Falls.
Camping: We plan to camp near the project site at the Antelope Creek access site/campground. Please bring a tent, trailer, and camping setup if you plan to stay overnight.
Meals: IDFG will provide breakfast, lunch, dinner and lots of drinking water during the project. Looking for camp cooks also!
What to bring: Work clothes, sturdy boots, muck boots, gloves, personal water bottle, sleeping/camping gear, and sun/weather protection.
This is a great opportunity to get outside, work alongside IDFG staff and other volunteers, and make a direct contribution to improving stream and wildlife habitat.
If you’re interested in joining us, please reply to this email and let us know which day(s) you can attend and whether you plan to camp overnight. Just need a head count for planning
More details on the project will be sent out later.
Thank you, and we hope you can join us!
