Beaver dam analogues seek to mimic beaver activity to slow and hold water.

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

We learn about land management practices in the Black Hills with Lori Brown and Patti Lynch.

Brown is a western South Dakota rangeland specialist with The Nature Conservancy. Lynch is a retired wildlife biologist for the U.S. Forest Service in the Black Hills.

They discuss how their programs practice beaver mimicry and the beavers' role in West River.
