Jobsite Santa Fe River: Successful Restorat

What the Santa Fe river can look like (reference reach):
Wetlands overview, with winter sunset colors. These trees are about 14 years old.
Trees planted about 10 years ago.
Some have become beaver lunch.
Other have become part of a beaver's dam (note overflow waterfal)l.

Dams create lakes.
And wetlands. Note the beaver trail.

Wetlands create the right conditions for new trees to grow, completing a sustainable cycle.
