In this episode, I started to tackle a new project for my desert forest, one that will have a great impact if it succeeds: building beaver dam analogs (BDA) - to enhance water retention on my isolated ranch.

Creating a sustainable ecosystem in such a challenging environment requires innovative solutions. With the help of a grant from the NRCS, I’m setting up BDAs to capture and infiltrate water more effectively. This new structure will complement the dirt bathtubs, terraces, and check dams that we've previously established.

Despite the difficulties of rocky soil and unpredictable rain, progress is being made. We aim to establish a robust underground water flow to support plant life. I'm just trying to make the most of every opportunity to learn and grow.
