Very nice!

I applaud the efforts being featured here in the Big Hole, but the comment made at 04:05 asserting that all the beaver had been removed from these waterways by the time Lewis and Clark got there is ludicrous. Lewis and Clark returned to the east in 1806. In 1805 Francois Antoine Larocque a French Canadian working for the North West Company explored the Yellowstone River drainage mostly trying to establish relations with the local tribes in SE Montana. Not until David Thompson and others of the North West Company established posts west of the Divide near Libby and Thompson Falls in 1808 and 1809 respectively did fur trapping take off. Then from 1810 - 1840, additional fur companies like the Hudson's Bay Company, the American Fur Company and the Rocky Mountain Fur Company were instrumental in taking most of the beaver.

1000 thumbs up! Can you reintroduce beaver next?

Where are the beavers 🦫☘️?

Time to pop in a bunch of willow, birch, aspen, etc cuttings and whips, then introduce beavers eventually. I suppose maybe they're still there and will move into these improved areas?

この草原で植林活動を行うべきです‼️

“Battery dies”

Big egos did it.

I thought Montana didn’t stock fish??

I love staying and fishing this river

One structure does this amazing effekt. Imagine if america had it's originsl beaver population back how much more water there would be year round

Hahaha the name of yer committe!

This is so refreshing to hear the environmentalists using ranching as a tool too maintaining a healthy ecosystem.

pretty amazing

stop trapping beaver.

Beaver re-introduction time! Beed to add some food trees by all those little dams.

How about just fencing off certain areas so trees can grow and not get digested by livestock and reintroduce beavers?

I was looking forward to this video, but I have to say that I was quite disappointed. You missed the chance to provide narration that would have explained what we’re seeing and how it represents the improvement, and provide a vision of what the whole thing will look like in a few years (I know it’ll look better with time). For someone like me who is not familiar with the area or the way it looked pre-project, it may be difficult to visualize how what we’re seeing here consists of improvement. 1. Was the wiggly stream on the right previously straight and incised, but now slowed down with meanders? 2. Are the thin strips of water going right to left just the first stage of spreading water over the previous desolation? 3. Another commenter has already asked about what’s going on with all the matchstick trees. I applaud all the work and planning that went into this project, and concur with other commenters that a follow up would be great. I just think that by not providing history and context via narration, you diminished the impact of your video. Please keep up the good work.

Get the Beavers back on the land. Anything else is a huge waste of manpower and cash. They're just farting around if they're not bringing Beavers in to do the work.

re-introduce real beaver???????????

It seems Non-Profits have been crippled by regulations. Why? Is this fearful state agencies that want job security, a monopoly? If they can stop restoration on private lands, private property rights are being violated. Is the fundamental problem political, e.g., authoritarianism? It is internationally. Is America infected? If so, I say stop it by "Striking at the Root of the Problem".

For years drainage in Calif was get the water into concrete and rid of eat. What a disaster. Now every project hss to hold some water... the more the better. Making progress

beavers

You see this a lot in Colorado, and it is beatiful!!!

Talk about holding back the water for later in the year, yet "environmentalist" want to remove the 4 lower dams on the Snake river that hold back FAR more water than all the beaver dams in Montana!

Conservation is for soy boy liberals

How about reintroducing the beaver?

Plant ancient grasses with long tap roots, this will fill the natural wells within the hillsides BENEATH the soils, halting drying out and draining-out of the topsoils. Re-introduce Beaver and stop playing God with all the tech and machinery. Its cheaper to let nature back-in, than use the digggers etc

Have you added beavers back into the mix yet? They are the masters of holding back water all we have to do is plant what they like to eat. and that's not just trees.

The question is, where did the beaver go?

Les pays les plus polluants au monde c’est les États Unis 🇺🇸 et la Chine 🇨🇳 Ensuite vient l’internet 😮😮😮

Beavers!

The ranchers trapped and killed the beavers. They are the culprits in this environmental disaster.

Projects like this are vital for our future. Well done.

Sorry my stupid question but, why not just reintroduce beavers into those areas?

these are good stewards of the planet. thank you.

"Im a Rancher and it took 4 generations to realize I shouldn't have shot those beaver" why do farmers always know so much about farming and care so so little for nature?

kek, "The most important thing we do is work with mother nature". By making methane farms?

Wetlands are a significant source of methane pollution, a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential twenty-five times that of carbon dioxide. The average time it takes for methane to be naturally oxidized into carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is about 9 years. Maybe change the logo to Big Hole heating the planet by 25x normal for 25 years.

Love it very cool thank you for your efforts must be incurably rewarding work!

Thank you for this video. It's amazing how beautyfull it is out there! 😍 It was also very interesting to see (from a far away - Poland ) how social interactions work there. Lots of wise words in this video. A lot to learn from. P.S. Even from that grain of hipocricy that could be sensed at some moments. 😉

Reduce population through attrition a cessation of births all efforts will be for naught if we don't bring down the human population.

Well I know what my grandad might say, finally the crazy white man understands mother nature is the true wealth.

release the beavers!

bring back the beavers.

Im the 1000th subscriber! love your work from CA!

This restoration and maintenance work of headwaters way upstream is as honourable and vital for your nation as, if not more so than, your military services. What is there to defend when the fresh water runs out?

beavers

Reintroduce beavers, and let Mother Nature do the work. The premise that reintroduction of beavers would be harmful to the ecosystem, one that they made, does not make sense.

Wow to have a gas-powered post hammer would be amazing. That is the tool I would use to help the environment. let us forget about a sledgehammer. Any study on evaporation study done on wide and shallow in place of deep? Good job on the video work. Well shot and edited.
