Utah State University researchers Wally MacFarlane, Martha Jensen and Joe Wheaton recently completed the extension of the BRAT (Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool) Across the entire state of Utah. The model is truly ready to be run now for all western states. The decision support system and capacity model have been dramatically improved and expanded and the methods are well documented. The research was prepared for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and is intended to help them implement the Utah Beaver Management Plan. The work is summarized in:
  • Wheaton JM and Macfarlane WW. 2014. The Utah Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool: A Decision Support & Planning Tool – Manager Brief, Ecogeomorphology and Topographic Analysis Lab, Utah State University, Prepared for Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Logan, UT, 16 pp. 
and fully reported in:
  • Macfarlane W.W., Wheaton J.M., and Jensen, M.L. 2014. The Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool: A Decision Support & Planning Tool for Utah. Ecogeomorphology and Topographic Analysis Lab, Utah State University, Prepared for Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Logan, Utah, 142 pp.
All the data is available here and will soon be available on the Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center.
