Join Natural Areas Association for the two-part webinar series *Embracing
the Power of Nature for Watershed Recovery*
<https://naturalareas.org/embracing_the_power_of_nature.php> to explore
nature-based approaches to recover watershed stream systems as we delve
more deeply into some techniques. Discover how materials found in nature,
if utilized strategically, will not only help in restoring watersheds, but
can also assist in creating land and water features that will mitigate
future damage. This approach is not only steeped in Indigenous Knowledge,
but it's also more practical, better for nature, and more cost-effective
than some modern engineering approaches.

for stream recovery that embrace the power of nature. This webinar will
emphasize natural techniques using plants and the reintroduction of beaver
(Castor canadensis) to support nature's ability to restore ecological
systems. Learn more about how these strategies may be universally applied
across North America.*
