Representatives from the USACE Rock Island District and the New Melleray Abbey work together to gather materials needed for a beaver dam analog (BDA). Bundles of thin trees and branches with leaves are cut and placed along the banks of the stream to later be woven between black locust stakes that have been installed across the waterway. Once constructed, these man-made structures will form a penetrable but sturdy wall for the BDA, much like what a beaver would engineer naturally.
