This is part of the mesic restoration prioritization within Sagebrush in Idaho.</span></p><p><span style='font-size:12pt; font-family:&quot;inherit&quot;, serif; color:rgb(36, 36, 36); border:1pt none windowtext; padding:0in; background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial;'>The Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool (BRAT) website describes BRAT as,</span><span style='font-size:12pt; color:rgb(10, 10, 10); font-family:&quot;News Cycle&quot;, sans-serif;'> &quot;The </span><strong>Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool</strong><span style='font-size:12pt; color:rgb(10, 10, 10); font-family:&quot;News Cycle&quot;, sans-serif;'> (BRAT) is planning tool intended to help researchers, restoration practitioners and resource managers assess the potential for beaver as a stream conservation and restoration agent over large regions and watersheds. At the heart of BRAT is a capacity model, which estimates the upper limit of dam density (dams per kilometer) for individual stream reaches throughout a drainage network. We focus on predicting where beavers could build dams and to what extent (as opposed to the more general case of where beaver could make a living), because it is the dam building activity they do as ecosystem engineers, which we are typically most interested in.&quot;</span></p><p>
