Objectives: We propose a place-based partnership at Zena Creek, Idaho, that addresses the following question: 1) How can the dual needs of fire and aquatic species management be achieved through the development of new model-based tools, and on-the-ground design of wetland and Beaver Dam Analog (BDA) structures, while concurrently strengthening partnerships among scientists, managers, tribal agencies and local land-owners? A key component of this study is that data collection and treatment design will be undertaken by the next generation of scientists from Boise State University, The College of Idaho, and the Nez Perce tribe as part of the summer Zena Creek field school. Land managers and scientists from federal agencies, the private sector, and academia will train students via boots-on-the-ground design and field data collection.
Questions: Please contact Jen Pierce (jenpierce@boisestate.edu) and see below for application instructions.
