Well it is a small human made attempt at a beaver dam .  Volunteers will be weaving willows around posts\, packing them with sod mats\, and impounding a little bit of water. So be ready to get a little bit muddy and wet. Forest Service will provide some basic PPE\, but please bring your own if you prefer and wear closed toed footwear.
