U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceThis layer modifies existing Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool shapefile results by filtering to show only perennial streams in the Easiest-Low Hanging Fruit and Straight-Forward - Quick Return Categories within the Sagebrush boundary in Idaho. This layer is used to display these streams on a mapping tool with the purpose of selecting streams where it might be easiest to provide process-based restoration. This is part of the mesic restoration prioritization within Sagebrush in Idaho. The Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool (BRAT) website describes BRAT as, "The Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool (BRAT) is planning tool intended to help researchers, restoration practitioners and resource managers assess the potential for beaver as a stream conservation and restoration agent over large regions and watersheds. At the heart of BRAT is a capacity model, which estimates the upper limit of dam density (dams per kilometer) for individual stream reaches throughout a drainage network. We focus on predicting where beavers could build dams and to what extent (as opposed to the more general case of where beaver could make a living), because it is the dam building activity they do as ecosystem engineers, which we are typically most interested in." https://brat.riverscapes.net/ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/5394b4b302bf4fedb9825d095aecd9a1_26engU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open DataPublicRestorationConservationLHF SF inSageCoreGrowth500ft [United States]Web servicesUnited StatesLast Modified: 2023-04-07
