This resulted in a mindset of primarily just providing for parking and boat access. Funding and recreational use at river access sites have diversified\, as well as types of angling. Also\, stream habitat engineering\, streambank access stability design and engineering have advanced. AGFC is trying to incorporate improved water quality\, stream fisheries habitat\, streambank stabilization\, improved riverside access\, and bank fishing at river access sites. As important\, access area design now strives toward decreased long-term maintenance expenses by incorporating more built-in sustainability such as no-mow areas providing pollinator habitat and solar-powered safety lighting. \nSPEAKER: Darrell Bowman\, Recreation and Access Coordinator\, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission \nWHEN: Nov 5\, 2024 12:00 PM CST \nREGISTER: Click here to register \n  URL:https://www.beaverwatershedalliance.org/event/ar-water-webinar/ LOCATION:ZOOM CATEGORIES:Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.beaverwatershedalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/BWA-logo_color_hrzl.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Beaver Watershed Alliance":MAILTO:info@beaverwatershedalliance.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20241024T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20241024T183000 DTSTAMP:20260404T063529 CREATED:20240827T220056Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240927T171030Z UID:10000108-1729789200-1729794600@www.beaverwatershedalliance.org SUMMARY:Alliance Karst Workshop DESCRIPTION:Learn more about caves\, karst\, geology below us\, and the history of early dwellers that play an important role in the Beaver Lake watershed. \nWith Special Guest Speakers: \nAdam Leslie | Arkansas State Parks \nJonathan Baxter | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service \nJamie Lockhart | AR Archeological Survey \n  \nTopics Include: \n\nWhat are karst landscapes & why are they important?\nOzark caves: early dwellings & the preservation of ancient artifacts.\nHow is water underground related to above ground water systems?

The fifth topic will cover Mussel Ecology in Arkansas & War Eagle Dam Removals with guest speakers Kendall Moles (Ph.D.\, Malacologist) and Sean Saunders (North Central Arkansas Stream Habitat Coordinator). Click HERE to register. \nWar Eagle Creek is the largest tributary to Beaver Lake\, drinking water source for 550\,000 residents in Northwest Arkansas. \nA collaborative partnership between Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC)\, Beaver Watershed Alliance\, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, landowners\, nonprofits\, state and local governments\, and others are working together to improve War Eagle Creek and its tributaries. \nThrough mutual goals and collaboration\, over $3.6 million in funding has been obtained to move forward with the project. Partners are actively working to remove stream barriers to open 434 miles of waterway\, address eroding streambanks\, restore riparian and wetlands\, propagate mussels for reestablishment and conduct biological monitoring. In less than a year\, a large dam and overflow barrier were removed on War Eagle Creek (Fall 2023). \nThese efforts aim to improve water quality and protect our drinking water supply\, but will also restore habitat for target species\, as twenty-seven Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) occur in War Eagle Creek\, including two federally protected species. These projects will also help to aid local counties in flood management\, restore floodplains\, help local farmers\, and provide education throughout the watershed area. \nAGFC Stream Habitat Coordinator Sean Saunders will join us to speak about the restoration details of the project\, as well as the benefits of barrier removals and stream restoration. AGFC Malacologist\, Dr. Kendall Moles\, will also join us to discuss the ecology of mussels and the work done at the War Eagle restoration sites to collect over 2\,000 mussels. \n  \nWhen: Wednesday\, August 21\, 2024\, Noon – 1:00 PM \n  \nClick HERE to register \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

On Thursday\, July 25th\, beginning at 6 pm\, special guest speakers will share some of the fascinating history of the Beaver Lake watershed including its lakes\, rivers\, and early settlers who utilized these natural resources. The free event will be held at the Elkins Community Center (162 Doolin Drive\, Elkins\, AR) and snacks and refreshments will be provided. \nLocal historian\, Susan Young\, will share a story on “Kith\, Kin\, and Claims on Chicken Bristle Mountain.” Susan is a lifelong resident of Fayetteville and a fifth-generation Ozarker. She worked as the outreach coordinator for the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale for 27 years. Susan’s presentation will follow the life story of a woman who came to the present-day Elkins area before the Civil War\, outlived two husbands\, and raised her many children in the area. The White River of the Elkins area drew many settlers (from the first humans to today) to the area\, including the woman in the topic of the presentation. Everyone has a story to tell- come learn about how local rivers in the area impacted the lives of early settlers! \nAlan Bland\, retired Beaver Lake Army Corps of Engineers Ranger\, worked on the lake for decades. Bland will present more present-day histories of how Beaver Lake came to be\, the intricacies of building the lake (or reservoir as this presentation will teach you!)\, and the benefits it continues to provide us every day. \nIn addition\, a display of the History of Beaver Lake\, commissioned by Beaver Water District\, will be available for viewing throughout the month of July at the Elkins Community Center. \nThis event is free to attend and all ages are welcome. Lakes Appreciation Month is an annual campaign in July\, with partners across Arkansas working together to raise awareness of the value and importance of our local lakes and reminds us all where we would be without them. \n  URL:https://www.beaverwatershedalliance.org/event/watershed-history-night/ LOCATION:Elkins Community Center\, 162 Doolin Drive\, Elkins\, AR\, 72727\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.beaverwatershedalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Watershed-History-Night-e1718636545589.png ORGANIZER;CN="Beaver Watershed Alliance":MAILTO:info@beaverwatershedalliance.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240716 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240719 DTSTAMP:20260404T063529 CREATED:20240321T154848Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240716T145702Z UID:10000098-1721088000-1721347199@www.beaverwatershedalliance.org SUMMARY:2024 Arkansas Agriculture\, Forests\, and Water Conference DESCRIPTION:ater conferences are everywhere!

This will be an excellent opportunity for forest landowners to learn about enhancing management goals for longevity\, land and watershed stewardship\, and wildlife habitat. \nUnmanaged forest properties can have negative impacts. Human influences have led to overcrowded forests with lower diversity and ecological benefits. Once in this altered state\, forests need human influences to return to their historic level of productivity. Forestry practices\, such as prescribed burning and timber thinning\, can greatly improve overall forest health and generate income through timber sales and cost-share programs. \nOur guest speaker\, Michael Mitchell\, is an Arkansas Registered Forester with Devereux & Associates LLC. Mr. Mitchell has decades of experience working with landowners and forest management in NW Arkansas. He will be leading a forest walk and talk where participants can ask questions and see real world examples of when and where forestry practices are needed\, or not\, and the logistics of getting practices implemented. Participants will also learn about the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) program – a dedicated funding program for producers and forest landowners in the War Eagle watershed. \n  \n  URL:https://www.beaverwatershedalliance.org/event/forestry-workshop/ LOCATION:Kieth Ham Pavilion – Withrow Springs State Park\, 33647 AR-23\, Huntsville\, AR\, 72740\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.beaverwatershedalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/1118167-LGPT-scaled-e1698856252293.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Beaver Watershed Alliance":MAILTO:info@beaverwatershedalliance.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
