Jackie Corday and Abby Burke share key considerations evaluating and implementing low-tech stream restoration techniques

Jackie Corday, a Colorado-based water and land attorney and natural resources consultant, and Abby Burk, Sr Manager of the Western Rivers Program Audubon Society, provide a deep-dive into key considerations evaluating and implementing low-tech stream restoration techniques. Topics discussed will include the benefits of stream system ecological lift, increased water availability and forage for agricultural producers, 2023 Colorado legislation (SB23-270) to support stream restoration, and reducing risk and increasing project success. Jackie and Abby have been working with High Lonesome Ranch on a post-Pine Gulch Fire restoration project and spoken with project managers involved for other restoration projects around the state.
