Creating Miracles in the Desert: Restoring Dixie Creek

When you look at this cut, you see still barren hillsides.  All of that country needs to be covered with well spaced trees able to draw deep water and put it into the atmosphere.  That then makes rainfall and a grassland recovery.

All this country has been run down by our ignorant practises, but that is also changing everrywhere.  A few miles of creek here is ultimately a million miles of thriving creeks all through the Great Basin.

I am seeing rising human awareness taking placev globally and now understand it is happening because folks can look ojtdoors and make a change.

Changes in livestock grazing practices resulted in the plants that naturally grow along streams to come back which eventually attracted beaver. The beaver built dams which captured and slowed stream flows, ultimately creating a landscape full of water and wildlife even during recent periods of severe drought. Interviews with stakeholders show how a recovered stream can benefit a wide range of interests and offer hope for a better future. The story of Dixie Creek’s recovery was produced by Reno, Nevada-based production company, Little Wild, and co-funded by the IWJV/BLM and NRCS/WLFW. https://www.partnersinthesage.com/blo...
