Report Highlights Bear River Restoration (ID)
The recently finalized report on a pulse flow program on the Black Canyon of the Bear River, located in Southeastern Idaho highlights the role that new water releases are playing in the restoration of the river reach. The report documents positive effects on instream habitat and aquatic insect populations. American Whitewater is now actively working with other stakeholders to finalize a flow program on the Bear for decades to come.
