Process-Based Restoration

Arable Earth specializes in low-tech process-based restoration of riverscapes. We focus on treatments that promote natural processes which allow the river system to regain its natural dynamic character over time.

Partnering with Beaver

Beaver were once abundant throughout North America and are still recovering from their near extinction caused by the fur trade.

Beaver dams and activities help maintain ecologically functioning riverscapes by influencing stream complexity and therefore, providing a wealth of ecosystem services.

“Just as rivers have been incrementally modified, they can be incrementally restored, with resulting improvements to many physical and biological processes.”
