SUMMARY:Riparian Workshop and Volunteer Planting Event
DESCRIPTION:The Beaver Watershed Alliance is set to hold an in-person Riparian Workshop and Volunteer Planting Event on Saturday\, March 19th. The Riparian Workshop will be held at the Clifty Fire Department from 10:00 am until 11:45 am. Free lunch will be provided for workshop attendees. A hands-on planting event will be held after lunch at a nearby stream restoration site. The planting will begin at 12:00 noon and last until 2:30 pm. This event is free\, and family friendly. \nThe morning session will feature speakers Sean Saunders with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Stream Team\, and the Alliance’s Forest and Stream Resource Specialist\, Daniel Hagood. Participants will learn about stream stabilization techniques and how to establish and increase the health of their vegetation along streams and rivers to prevent land loss and slow down erosion. After lunch (provided by the Alliance) Shonda Garrison with Moonlit Heights Native Plants\, and Josh Duzan with Natural State Streams will present on the recent Clifty Creek stabilization project\, on-site. Participants will then have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in planting native trees\, shrubs and grasses in riparian areas along the creek. Tools and instructional training will be provided. \n“This will be a great opportunity for landowners neighboring streams or rivers to learn how to protect their land and make a positive impact on the water quality of the area\,” says Daniel Hagood\, Alliance Stream and Forest Resource Specialist. \nThis workshop and project installation is part of a grant awarded by the Reservoir Fisheries Habitat Partnership\, in partnership with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission\, to stabilize Clifty Creek and reduce sediment loads to Beaver Lake\, improve shoreline habitat and fish habitat in Beaver Lake. Supporting partners include Arkansas Game and Fish Stream Team\, Bass Pro Outdoor Fund\, Beaver Water District\, and the U of A Division of Agriculture – Washington County Cooperative Extension Service. \nFor any questions or to RSVP\, please email Daniel Hagood at daniel@beaverwatershedalliance.org\, or text/call 479-750-8007.

SUMMARY:London Creek Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:What a great start to 2022! Our awesome Watershed Steward Intern\, Abby\, is assisting the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Stream Team and other volunteers in planting almost 150 native trees along London Creek in Brentwood for stream bank improvement and to prevent erosion.  \nEven though Brentwood is almost an hour’s drive from Beaver Lake\, sediment from erosion in this area can travel all the way from these tributaries into the White River\, and then Beaver Lake. Projects like this can play a big role in keeping soil in place in these streambanks. (Photos courtesy of NWA Democrat-Gazette/Andy Shupe)

SUMMARY:Alliance Quarterly Speaker Series- “Beaver Lake Watershed Success Metrics”
DESCRIPTION:In tandem with the Beaver Lake Watershed Protection Strategy updates\, the Alliance has commissioned a study to develop metrics for watershed management success. We invite you to attend the Alliance Quarterly Speaker Series\, Thursday\, February 17\, at 12 noon – 1 pm by zoom to learn more about this initiative & kick-off 2022 with opportunities for your comments and input. A panel of guest speakers including Dr. Sarah E. Lewis\, University of Arkansas – Arkansas Water Resources Center staff including Dr. Brian Haggard and Erin Grantz\, & Alliance Executive Director\, Becky Roark will present the draft metrics & answer questions \n“This will be a great opportunity for the community to provide input & feedback for how we measure success in water quality efforts & better assist a growing region\,” states Roark. “We are thrilled to have local expertise to assist with this project\, & need landowners\, water quality professionals\, conservation groups\, businesses\, industry folks\, higher education professionals & government staff to participate in this important next step.” \nIdentifying key metrics of success for the Beaver Lake Watershed Protection Strategy will not only help to achieve and support an adaptive management approach in watershed activities but will also provide a framework for other groups looking to achieve similar goals. In addition\, watershed success metrics can help bring together science with decision-making\, to advance a watershed-based management approach.\nA series of public meetings will be held to gain local stakeholder feedback & perspectives throughout the process. This Speaker Series will serve as the kickoff for public comments. Funding for this initiative has been generously provided by the Walton Family Foundation\, and the project is set to conclude by June 2022.This event is sponsored by the Walton Family Foundation & Beaver Water District. \nContact the Alliance at 479-750-8007 or info@beaverwatershedalliance.org for questions about the workshop
